- rsynnott 6y agoIn a state owned enterprise, the profits would generally go to the exchequer (assuming full state ownerships; otherwise dividends would be paid as normal, with the state owned portion going to the exchequer). If there were profits; in developed democracies, restrictions on state aid tend to relegate truly state owned enterprises to things like running the electricity network, which generally isn’t very profitable.
