The restructuring programme is part of an overall reform of state-owned enterprises in Liaoning's old industrial city.

'The restructuring proposals [for the 15 A-share companies] are expected to be ready by the year end and for completion next year, otherwise we would not be able to fulfil [Executive] Vice-Premier Zhu Rongji's expectations to take the state sector out of its predicament,' said Zhou Hang, deputy director of the Shenyang Economic Restructuring and Reform Commission.

Included in the programme were Jinbei Automotives, Shenyang Chemical and Northeast Pharmaceutical.

The firms have been working on their plans with help from the Economic Restructuring and Reform Commission, Economic and Trade Commission and Securities and Regulatory Commission.

'The majority of the 15 A-share companies from Shenyang have been posting dismal performance. It is hoped that they could live up to investors' expectations through restructuring,' Mr Zhou said.
