| description |
The main objective of this report is
to provide a descriptive analysis of the current practices
and trends of corporate governance of State-owned
Enterprises (SOEs) in several Latin-American countries. It
provides practitioners of SOE corporate governance with a
stocktaking of current practices and trends in several Latin
American countries, as well as international experiences and
good practices elsewhere. This report intend to contribute
to the discussion and growing interest on SOE corporate
governance and to provide an impulse for further analytical
work in this area. In most Latin American and Caribbean
countries, the SOE sector contributes significantly to GDP
and represents an important part of consolidated public
expenditures. In several cases, the SOEs are also key and
strategic actors in the country s economy providing
essential goods and services and frequently hold a dominant
market position in critical sectors, such as petroleum,
electricity, and transportation. They also operate in
competitive markets such as financial services,
telecommunications, etc. SOEs are also increasingly under
pressure, by both their governments and by international
competition, to operate and achieve their goals more
efficiently and effectively. Within this context, achieving
good corporate governance practices is critical to SOEs
effectively providing goods and services and achieving their
short-, medium-, and long-term goals, within a sustainable
fiscal framework. This report has been prepared with the
direct collaboration of government officials involved in the
SOE sectors of eight countries in Latin America and the
Caribbean, and Spain. It is mainly based on financial
information and other relevant data on the above-mentioned
countries, covering the period from 2010 to 2013. As part of
data collection for the report, representatives of the SOE
sectors in Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Dominican Republic,
Mexico, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Spain and Uruguay, attended
the Technical Workshop on SOE Supervision in Latin American
and Caribbean Countries, organized by the SOE Monitoring
Unit of Paraguay and the World Bank in December 2011 in
Punta del Este, Uruguay. |
