OECD launches Global Network on Privatisation and Corporate Governance of State-Owned Enterprises

06 March 2008



The OECD launched its Global Network on Privatisation and Corporate Governance of State-Owned Enterprises. The inaugural meeting in provided an opportunity for a range of countries with significant state-owned sectors, such as China, India, Russia and more than 20 other non-members, to discuss and exchange experiences with OECD countries on best practices and policy reforms, focusing particularly on the issues of transparency and accountability of state-owned enterprises.

 

The meeting provided an opportunity for the OECD Working Group on Privatisation and Corporate Governance of State Owned Assets to consult with non-OECD countries on its draft Implementation Guide for Transparency and Accountability in State Ownership (the “TrAc Guide”).

 

The TrAc Guide aims at supporting the implementation of the OECD Guidelines on Corporate Governance of State-Owned Enterprises in the area of accountability and transparency.

 

The TrAc Guide will be finalised in April 2008 and used in policy dialogue with non-OECD countries in Asia, Africa, the Middle-East and North Africa and Latin America in the coming years. It will also be used by other international organisations and donors as a reference for their technical assistance programmes.
