Corporate Governance in Latin America

At a Glance

The OECD Corporate Governance and Corporate Finance Division has convened more than 30 meetings and published more than 20 reports focused on Latin America since beginning to work in the region in 2000. Our team has built expertise both on listed companies’ and state-owned enterprises’ corporate governance in the region, as well as the challenges related to local equity market development. The regional work planned for the future includes policy challenges related to sustainability and the access of growth companies to public markets.
