The Romanian government has undertaken important legal and institutional changes over the past decade to improve the governance and performance of its state-owned enterprises (SOEs), yet significant implementation shortcomings persist. This review describes and assesses the corporate governance framework of the Romanian SOE sector against the OECD Guidelines on Corporate Governance of State-Owned Enterprises. It also makes recommendations to help the Romanian authorities design adequate mechanisms to ensure the implementation of applicable rules for the exercise of state ownership and the governance of SOEs.
Assessment of Romania against the OECD Guidelines of Corporate Governance of SOEs
This chapter describes the corporate governance framework of Romanian SOEs specifically with regard to how actual policies and practices compare with the recommendations of the OECD Guidelines of Corporate Governance of SOEs. In particular, it examines: (i) the rationales for state ownership, (ii) the organisation of the state ownership function, (iii) the level playing field between SOEs and private companies, (iv) the treatment of non-state shareholders and other investors, (v) principles and standards of responsible business conduct, (vi) transparency and disclosure policies and practices, and (vii) the roles and responsibilities of the boards of directors of SOEs.
