Bus/Financial - Business/Commerce (general) | | Dutch term or phrase: in de etalage zetten | This is taken from a report about a company takeover:
"Nu zijn alle aandelen nog in handen van de Staat. Een groot deel (66%) van de aandelen XYZ zijn in de etalage gezet. Het resterende belang zal binnen vijf jaar worden verkocht."
I don't really get what the text is trying to say here. |
