Ministra de Finanzas defiende venta de IDBI ante críticas de Gandhi

La ministra de Finanzas Nirmala Sitharaman, en la India, defendió el plan de vender el 60,72 % de las acciones del banco IDBI a Fairfax Financial Holdings, afirmando que el banco había sido reactivado después de haber sido heredado en condiciones deficientes; la declaración se realizó el 30 de octubre. Con anterioridad, el líder opositor Rahul Gandhi había escrito al personal de IDBI cuestionando la venta y señalando preocupaciones sobre los derechos de los empleados y la política de reservas.

El Foro Unido de Oficiales y Empleados de IDBI pidió la suspensión inmediata de la operación y una revisión parlamentaria, alegando que la valoración y las responsabilidades sociales no estaban garantizadas. El Ministerio de Finanzas había indicado que la metodología de valoración y el precio de reserva fueron aprobados por el grupo central de secretarios y que la oferta de Fairfax, de 81 rupias por acción, superó las estimaciones de valor justo independientes.
