state-owned
Government property, essentially
State-owned describes property or enterprises belonging to a government rather than private individuals or corporations: state-owned enterprises, state-owned oil companies.
The term often appears in discussions of economic systems, distinguishing public from private ownership: China's state-owned banks dominate the financial sector.
A state-owned entity may operate like a business but answers ultimately to the government.
