Corporate governance principles

Latin American Roundtable, Mexico City, 2-3 December 2008

 

 

 

In partnership with the IFC/World Bank Group, the OECD meeting focused on:

- recent corporate governance-related developments in Latin America,

 

- policy-makers, regulators, investors, businesses and other corporate governance advocates advancing in relation to four main themes (here under)

Four main themes

 1      

  reviewing policy and best practice recommendations of the proposed White Paper on Institutional Investors and Corporate Governance, building on previous discussions;
 2  considering recent trends among stock exchanges to demutualise and enhance cross-border trading, and the implications for their role in corporate governance;
 3  discussing recent trends and priorities for enforcement in the region;
 4  developing a proactive agenda to anticipate risks and overcome obstacles to better corporate governance in the region that takes into account recent international developments in the markets.

These discussions provided a basis for establishing the Roundtable’s priorities for the future.
