Government-linked Companies




A Government Linked Company (GLC) is a Corporate Entity that may private or public (listed on a stock exchange) where an existing Government owns a stake using a Holding Company . There are two main definitions of GLCs are dependent on the proportion of the corporate entity a government owns.

One definition purports that a company is classified as a GLC if a government owns an effective controlling interest (>50%), while the second definition suggests that any corporate entity that has a government as a shareholder is a GLC.
