Posti, the Finnish post service, could be split into two and media companies could become shareholders in the distribution business, according to Talouselama.
The Finnish language piece cited Antti Rinne, chairman of the Finnish Social Democrats Party, who said that the postal services group could be split into two businesses, one of which would serve the public sector, with the other serving the private sector.
He said that distribution business of Posti could be divided up so that media companies would be shareholders of the business.
He was speaking to the magazine as a representative of the Finnish government. His comments come as there has been discussions in Finland about the possible privatisation models for Posti.
It has not been suggested before that media companies could become shareholders of Posti distribution.
No time line or any other details about the privatisation was revealed in the piece.
