In many Asian countries, state-owned enterprises are significant economic players. Sound corporate governance of SOEs is therefore key for the region’s economic dynamism. Ensuring they operate efficiently, transparently, and on an equal footing with private companies will spur economic growth and competitiveness. The OECD aims to enhance the corporate governance of SOEs in the region through the OECD-Asia SOE Governance networkand based on of the OECD Guidelines on Corporate Governance of State-Owned Enterprises.
The Network monitors and analyses SOE governance developments in the region serves as a forum for dialogue to identify good corporate governance practices, and supports its members through country reviews and reform assistance that help drive national reforms to improve SOE performance and institutional capacity.
