Žiga Debeljak, predsednik uprave Slovenskega državnega holdinga (SDH), bo 30. septembra sporazumno zapustil položaj, kar je povzročilo široko pozornost v političnem in javnem mediju. Odstop prihaja v času, ko vlada pod vodstvom Janeza Janše pripravlja temeljito prenovo sistema upravljanja državnega premoženja, vključno z ukinitvijo SDH. Debeljak, ki je vodil SDH od septembra 2022, bi sicer s 1. septembrom letos nastopil nov štiriletni mandat, a je svojo pobudo za predčasen odhod podal sam, kar je pomenilo, da je odpravnino odreknil. To je bilo odločitev, ki je bila v skladu z njegovim željem za personalnim razvojem in vedenjem, kar je poudaril tudi Nadzorni svet SDH, ki je zahvalil Debeljaku za njegovo uspešno vodenje družbe in upravljanje naložb v obdobju izrazitih zunanjih izzivov, kot so energetska kriza, povečana gospodarska in geopolitična negotovost.
Odstop Debeljaka se sovpada z bistvenimi spremembami v sistemu upravljanja državnega premoženja. Vlada Janeza Janše pripravlja zakon o nacionalnem in demografskem skladu, ki bi naj prenesel državne naložbe iz SDH na nov sistem, ki bi bil bolj centraliziran, pošten in dolgoročno usmerjen. To bi pomenilo ukinitve SDH kot ključne institucije v upravljanju državnega premoženja, in vzpostavitev novega sistema, namenjenega tudi stabilnemu financiranju pokojninske blagajne. Nadzorni svet SDH je že objavil javni razpis za novega predsednika uprave, pri čemer je rok za prijavo zainteresiranih kandidatov 31. julij. Imenovanje novega predsednika uprave bo izvedeno do poteka Debeljakovega mandata, medtem ko bo obstoječa uprava, v kateri je poleg Debeljaka še Janez Tomšič, zagotavljala nemoteno delovanje družbe do konca septembra.
Debeljakov odhod je bil v skladu z njegovim željom za personalnim razvojem, kar je poudaril tudi Nadzorni svet SDH, ki je zahvalil Debeljaku za njegovo uspešno vodenje. Družba je v zadnjih letih dosti dosegla, kot so spomnili v SDH. Družba je dosega rekordne dobičke, donosnost portfelja v upravljanju dosega primerjalno visoke donose, na rekordni ravni pa je tudi obseg izplačanih dividend. SDH je v letu 2025 dosegel čisti dobiček v višini več kot 85 milijonov evrov, pri čemer bo v treh letih v sklad za poplavno obnovo po poplavah vplačal skoraj 250 milijonov evrov. Povprečna donosnost lastniškega kapitala družb v upravljanju SDH je v letih 2023–2025 znašala 9,5 odstotka, družbe portfelja pa bodo v obdobju 2023–2026 zgolj v državni proračun izplačale več kot 1,3 milijarde evrov dividend. Knjigovodska vrednost kapitalskih naložb je zrasla z 11,2 milijarde evrov konec leta 2022 na 14 milijard evrov konec lanskega leta.
SDH je v preteklih letih izvedel tudi kompleksne projekte, ki obsegajo pripojitev DUTB-ja in prevzem upravljanja terjatev ter stvarnega premoženja, izčlenitev nepremičninske dejavnosti na DSU, prevzem novih družb v upravljanje ter pripravo nove strategije družbe za prihodnje srednjeročno obdobje. S to so začrtane jasne usmeritve za prihodnji razvoj družbe in upravljanje portfelja. Debeljak SDH tako zapušča v dobri kondiciji in predvsem na lastno pobudo, so poudarili v holdingu. Tudi če te pobude ne bi podal, pa se na čelu družbe, ki naj bi jo skladno z načrti nove vlade ukinili, državne naložbe pa prenesli na nacionalni demografski sklad, ne bi obdržal. Osnutek zakonskega predloga o demografskem skladu, ki ga je v četrtek razkril portal Necenzurirano, naj bi namreč predvidel predčasni konec mandatov nadzornega sveta in uprave SDH-ja.
Nadzorni svet SDH-ja je Debeljaku nov štiriletni mandat na čelu holdinga, ki ga bo nastopil 1. septembra letos in po enem mesecu na lastno pobudo končal predčasno, po izvedenem razpisu potrdil že novembra lani, kar je sprožilo kritike dela politike. Pomisleki so leteli predvsemi na račun dejstva, da je bil Debeljaku nov mandat na čelu SDH-ja podeljen slabo leto pred iztekom aktualnega mandata. Z načinom, kako se je vodil postopek imenovanja predsednika uprave SDH-ja, se na primer niso strinjali v tedaj koalicijski stranki SD, češ da se je pri imenovanju hitelo. Na lansko novico, da bo Debeljak septembra nastopil nov mandat na čelu SDH-ja, se je odzval tudi predsednik SDS-a Janez Janša, ki je na družbenem omrežju X zapisal „ne bo“. Janševa vlada namreč načrtuje ukinitev SDH in prenos državnih naložb na demografski sklad. Ustanovitev demografskega sklada je bil eden od predvolilnih načrtov največje vladne stranke SDS in je tudi del koalicijske pogodbe med SDS, trojčkom NSi, SLS in Fokus ter Demokrati.

Nova24TVParty-alignedCenter10 hr. agoThe article reports that Žiga Debeljak, who has led the Slovenian State Holding (SDH) since September 2022, will voluntarily step down from his position on September 30th. His resignation comes during a period when the government under Prime Minister Janez Janša is preparing a major overhaul of state asset management, including the abolition of SDH. Debeljak was set to start a new four-year term in September, but this was confirmed by the previous government led by Robert Golob, which critics argue aimed to secure power for the left wing. This move was opposed by coalition partners like the Slovenian Democratic Party (SD). The current prime minister, Janez Janša, publicly rejected the extension of Debeljak’s mandate. The board of SDH acknowledged Debeljak’s contributions and noted the holding’s successful performance over the past year. The departure coincides with broader reforms aimed at creating a more centralized, transparent, and long-term oriented system for managing state assets, including financial support for the pension fund. A public call for applications for a new head of administration is underway, with the existing management ensuring smooth operations until then.
