agree  Mario Freitas: ...or at least partially pubicly owned.
1 hr
  -> Muito obrigado, Mario, and thx.

neutral  Mark Robertson: 1. In Ref. 1 capital público means state-owned. In Ref. 2 public means traded on open market, but says nothing about ownership. 2. See my discussion entry.
8 hrs
  -> 1. publicly owned - bar local authorities - + state-owned are virtual synonyms Ref 2. for public ownership - that is out of sync with the FT - is only one definition that is n/a here + 3. I never mentioned publicly *floated* Stock Exchange or public corps

state-owned


Explanation:
The context is "A entidade tem participação social público?", the translation of which is:

Are any shares in the company state-owned?

Some US sources use the term government-owned, but that is confusing as the state is the owner, not the government.
