Quasi-Public Corporation

Economics Financial Terms Dictionary

Contents

A quasi-public corporation is a private company supported by a branch of government with a public mandate to provide this service.

In exchange for their services, they often receive some form of partial funding from the state.
A quasi-public corporation should generally prioritize its government mandate over the creation of value and profit for shareholders.
These types of corporations should not be considered risk-free investments due to their ties to the government.
