State-owned enterprises (SOEs) play an important role in the economies of countries around the world, often providing goods and services that are essential to society. SOEs are prevalent in strategic sectors such as energy, mining, infrastructure and finance, with important implications for global markets, competition and sustainability. Responsible management of SOEs and ensuring accountability and integrity through good corporate governance is important to ensure that they contribute to competitiveness, economic sustainability and sustainable development.

The OECD Guidelines on Corporate Governance of State-Owned Enterprises (the Guidelines) are leading global standards that provide advice to governments on how to better manage their SOEs. The latest revision in 2024 reflects the latest developments in global market and corporate governance.
