Professionalising Boards of Directors of State-Owned Enterprises: Stocktaking of National Practices

This report provides an overview of national practices to professionalise boards of directors by examining relevant legislation, policies and practices applicable to state-owned enterprises (SOEs) in a sample of OECD countries and developing and emerging economies. This report has been prepared as the result of the work of the OECD Global Network on Corporate Governance of State-Owned Enterprises, which provides a forum for policy makers, practitioners and experts from all over the world to identify common challenges related to state-owned enterprise (SOE) ownership and governance, share good practices and develop recommendations for effective reform.
