Italian term or phrase: aziende a controllo pubblico
is this the same as state-owned companies? Thx

Chi invece manca a Torino 2006, soprattutto facendo un confronto con le prossime Olimpiadi estive, sono le aziende a controllo pubblico, che in altre edizioni dei giochi sono arrivate a coprire il 70% del budget

publicly controlled companies
Explanation:
Publicly controlled (or state controlled) rather than state owned. For example this could mean that the state holds 51% of the shares.
