This book was released on 2021-09-20 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prior to the COVID-19 shock, the key challenge facing policymakers in the Middle East, North Africa, and Central Asia region was how to generate strong, sustainable, job-rich, inclusive growth. Post-COVID-19, this challenge has only grown given the additional reduction in fiscal space due to the crisis and the increased need to support the recovery. The sizable state-owned enterprise (SOE) footprint in the region, together with its cost to the government, call for revisiting the SOE sector to help open fiscal space and look for growth opportunities.

Download or read book State owned enterprises in Africa and the economics of public service delivery written by Fulufhelo G. Netswera and published by AOSIS. This book was released on 2023-03-01 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book intends to provide a continuous assessment of the crisis in governance in Africa. As it is, there are huge deficits in the capacity of African states to harness vast human and material resources to promote good governance. This manifests in pervasive corruption, collapsed service delivery, collapsed state-owned enterprises, eroded social trust, capital flight, escalating levels of poverty and wars, human insecurity, and stunted growth. The public sector is the pulse of service delivery because the entire governance system revolves around the sourcing of materials and services, mostly from the private sector, in order to achieve its public policy intents. The procurement process, therefore, ordinarily ought to yield positive economic outcomes and an efficiency-driven system in favour of the government itself and its service recipients. However, this more often than not is not the case. Despite its enormous wealth, the African continent is in an economic quagmire, a dilemma that requires multi-facet research activities. This is the motivation for this book.

Download or read book Resource Misallocation Among Listed Firms in China The Evolving Role of State Owned Enterprises written by Ms. Emilia M Jurzyk and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2021-03-12 with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We document that publicly listed Chinese state-owned enterprises (SOEs) are less productive and profitable than publicly listed firms in which the state has no ownership stake. In particular, Chinese listed SOEs are more capital intensive and have a lower average product of capital than non-SOEs. These productivity differences increased between 2002 and 2009, and remain sizeable in 2019. Using a heterogeneous firm model of resource misallocation, we find that there are large potential productivity gains from reforms which could equalize the marginal products of listed SOEs and listed non-SOEs.

Download or read book Governance and State Owned Enterprises How Costly is Corruption written by Ms.Anja Baum and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2019-11-22 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: State-owned enterprises (SOEs) are present in key sectors of the economies around the world. While they can provide an important public service, there is widespread concern that their activities are negatively affected by corruption. However, there is limited cross-country analysis on the costs of corruption for SOEs. We present new evidence on how corruption affects the performance of SOEs using firm level data across a large number of countries. One striking result is that SOEs perform as well as private firms in core sectors when corruption is low. Taking advantage of a novel database reforms, we also show that SOE governance reforms can generate significant performance gains.

Download or read book Managing State owned Enterprises written by Mary M. Shirley and published by . This book was released on 1983 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper suggests ways to improve the efficiency of state-owned enterprises (SOEs) by examining the special circumstances and constraints that are common to them. These include confused and conflicting objectives; government intervention in operating decision; monopoly powers; and inefficient management. These problems are complex and resistant to change. Negotiated agreements between government and SOEs can be used to clarify objectives and set targets for both parties. Systems to monitor and evaluate performance take into account the special constraints placed on SOEs and adjust for distorted prices. Competition and better accountability to customers encourage efficiency. Incentives linked to performance help motivate top managers. Compensation and training can be geared toward creating a corps of competent managers with appropriate skills. Finally, governments are reducing the managerial and fiscal burden of SOEs through selective liquidation and divestiture.
