crown corporation
This expression is used in Canada and perhaps also in the UK
Peer comment(s):
| agree |
Yakov Tomara
: But only if the text is about a Canadian or UK-based company. The 'crown corporation' for a French or Swiss doesn't seem to be a good solution. Also for Belgium and Luxemburg seems advisable to use Euradicautom's translation.

public entity
This term might be more useful, as it avoids the problems of "crown corporation" (associated with only cetain countries), and is succinct.
Peer comment(s):
| neutral |
Yakov Tomara
: IMO the problem with 'public entity' is that it may mean a governmental agency while we're speaking about state-owned enterprises.
