| description |
Chile's equity market is fairly
large and successful. The market capitalization of the 249
listed firms represented 89 percent of GDP at year-end,
2001. Corporate ownership is concentrated and pyramid
structures are common. Business groups/conglomerates are the
predominant corporate form. Institutional investors,
especially pension funds, are active equity investors. The
Securities Market Law and the Corporation Law form the legal
framework governing the capital markets. The securities
market is regulated by the Superintendence of Securities and
Insurance (SVS). Overall, Chile scores well on the
assessment on compliance with the OECD Principles, scoring
"Observed" or "Largely Observed" for 14
of 23 Principles; no Principle is deemed "Not
Observed." The policy recommendations may be grouped
under three broad categories: legislative reform,
institutional strengthening and voluntary/private
initiatives. The report recommends further amending
Corporation Law and Securities Market Law to increase
transparency for investors; having more transparency in and
accountability of the SVS; increasing resources for the SVS
to strengthen its ability to conduct market surveillance;
and preparing a road map to improve the general enforcement
of investor property rights. Finally, the report proposes
creating an Institute of Directors to provide training for
supervisory board members, disseminate best practice, and
promote dialogue between the public and private sectors. |
