They provide concrete advice to countries on how to manage more effectively their responsibilities as company owners, thus helping to make SOEs more competitive, efficient and transparent. The Guidelines include a set of good practices on the legal and regulatory framework for SOEs, the professionalisation of the state ownership function and the corporate governance arrangements of SOEs. First developed in 2005, the Guidelines were updated in 2015 to take into account developments since their adoption and to reflect the experiences of the growing number of countries that have taken steps to implement them; The report was prepared by Chung-a Park with oversight from Hans Christiansen, both of the Corporate Governance and Corporate Finance Division in the OECD Directorate for Financial and Enterprise Affairs. It also benefits from comments and inputs from Korin Kane.
