One of the major obstacles to Keymon's macroeconomic stability is the inefficient nature of the nation’s state-owned enterprises, which continues to place significant strain on the national budget as many of these enterprises require annual subventions to remain afloat. The boom and bust cycles of the global economy, coupled with the economic and political uncertainty which existed prior to the Social Democratic Party’s rise to power, has contributed enormously to the relative collapse of most, if not all of Keymon's once famed state-owned enterprises. Originally implemented with the intention of maintaining government presence in the local and international markets as a means of bringing true economic equality and equity through the billions of dollars in foreign exchange these companies earned, the Keymonite government aggressively sought out emerging industries and used state-owned enterprises to either push for increased government control or maintain a foot-hold in major economic markets. Notable names are ING, Keymon Weapons Industries, Air Keymon and TeleKEY. Although incompetence and mismanagement at the hands of the executives at the helm of these companies can be blamed for their demise, the Keymonite government has also played a major role, enabling the inefficient nature of these state-owned enterprises. Its tendency to provide annual subventions to these state-owned enterprises without commitments on the part of the companies themselves to restructure their operations towards greater efficiency, the Keymonite government’s creeping legitimisation of monopolies through statutory acts and previous attempts by the Keymonite government to enforce strict price controls on numerous commodities offered by the aforementioned state-owned enterprises. Minister-President Dr Jacques Kirscht, in recognising the need to make Keymon's state-owned enterprises more efficient, a cabinet-level minister would be required to address the situation. Edna Klossner, Minister of Public Administration has been declared corporate-sole of Keymon's state-owned enterprises.
Minister Klossner has stated that she intends on completely transforming all of Keymon's state-owned enterprises. She sought to break down the transformation initiatives coming to companies such as ING, Air Keymon, Keymon Weapons Industries and TeleKEY. According to the Minister, plans are in an advanced stage which would see ING's entire business model rebranded and restructured. She notes that the companies name would be changed from “ING” to “Brennstoff” and as a part of the government’s commitment to the green economy, 30% of the rebranded company’s business must be dedicated towards renewable energy. Directives on the creation of a subsidiary to be known as Brennstoff Alternatives have been handed down to the company’s executive management. Air Keymon’s fleet, routes and staff are expected to be cut in half, with a major rebranding of the airline’s business towards low-cost travel. The halving of Air Keymon’s fleet would see numerous legacy aircraft replaced with much smaller, medium-range aircraft as the company would primarily focus on Artania, Keris/Macon and Seleya. A new tax regime is expected to be rolled out for airlines operating out of Keymon as compensation for the net pollution emitted by aircraft. Although the Minister did not reveal whether the airline’s name would be changed she stated that the executive management and board of the company are still deliberating on the issue. Keymon Weapons Industries, the once-respected defence firm is expected to be restructured and some parts of its business privatised. According to Minister Klossner, although the company’s finances remain stable due to its continued service to the Keymon Defence Forces, the company’s long-term sustainability cannot be based on its dependence on the Keymonite Government for defence contracts. There is currently a discussion with the cabinet on whether the government should maintain its stake in the company altogether, recognising the company’s contributor towards numerous conflicts in the nation’s past. TeleKEY’s monopoly over the telecommunications sector is to be dismantled. Minister Klossner argued that the company’s monopoly has enabled its laissez-faire attitude towards innovation and customer relations. Ahead of Minister Klossner is an enormous task of restructuring/turning around failing state-owned enterprises and aligning their businesses alongside international best practices.
