Should the Government Require Large Companies to List Publicly?

I believe large companies should be forced to make a public share offer once they meet defined thresholds set by the ministry of industry. Criteria like turnover, employee count, market share or debt exposure could trigger a mandatory public listing. This approach would boost transparency and allow ordinary investors to participate. Any unsubscribed shares could be replaced with bank financing. Compulsory listing aligns with the original corporate model designed for broad investor access rather than just owners. Requiring public offers for big firms can strengthen our capital markets and support economic growth by widening share ownership.
