Corporate Governance of Company Groups in Latin America
This report provides an overview of frameworks and experience in Latin America and
internationally in dealing with the challenges associated with corporate governance
of company groups. It describes their economic rationale, benefits and relevance in
Latin America, and how they are defined, overseen and regulated. It also delves into
some of the risks and more specific challenges involved in ensuring protection of
minority shareholder rights and managing or minimising conflicts of interest within
groups. It notes the rising importance of Latin American-based multinational company
groups. Finally, it reviews existing international and regional guidance on corporate
governance of company groups before assessing the more specific policy options and
challenges in the region, and describing the conclusions reached by the Latin American
Corporate Governance Roundtable and Task Force on Company Groups based on this report’s
findings. Country-specific chapters provide more specific descriptions of the frameworks
in place for corporate governance of company groups in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia,
Mexico and Peru.
