This report Corporate Governance of State-Owned Enterprises: A Survey of OECD Countries provides a comprehensive inventory of current practices and recent developments. Published under the authority of the OECD Working Group on Privatisation and Corporate Governance of State-Owned Assets, the report illustrates the different policy options available to governments in exercising their ownership rights and includes references to official reports by state auditors, parliaments or ownership entities. This information was invaluable during the development of the Guidelines and can now be used by policy makers and practitioners as a reference when reflecting on their own practices and in shaping future reforms. The OECD will use the report and the Guidelines as it continues to promote good governance of state-owned enterprises through policy dialogue meetings with OECD and non-OECD countries. The report will also provide a solid basis for assessing the reforms now being undertaken.
