Book excerpt: The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) had identified various corporate governance challenges in Asia, the most serious of these being the expropriation of minority shareholders. Since the 1997 Asian economic crisis, minority shareholder protection has become an area for focus as part of the overall movement to improve corporate governance of public listed companies in Thailand. The Stock Exchange of Thailand estimated that it has about nine million investors, directly and indirectly. A majority of these are minority shareholders who, left on their own accord, have little competitive advantage against controlling shareholders and their nominated corporate insiders. This study examines the protection of minority shareholders in public listed companies in Thailand by conducting a survey on a sample of 150 minority shareholders in order to derive recommendations for improvement of their protection.

Download or read book Bovernance and Bank Valuation written by Gerard Caprio and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2003 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Which public policies and ownership structures enhance the governance of banks? This paper constructs a new database on the ownership of banks internationally and then assesses the ramifications of ownership, shareholder protection laws, and supervisory/regulatory policies on bank valuations. Except in a few countries with very strong shareholder protection laws, banks are not widely held, but rather families or the State tend to control banks. We find that (i) larger cash flow rights by the controlling owner boosts valuations, (ii) stronger shareholder protection laws increase valuations, and (iii) greater cash flow rights mitigate the adverse effects of weak shareholder protection laws on bank valuations. These results are consistent with the views that expropriation of minority shareholders is important internationally, that laws can restrain this expropriation, and concentrated cash flow rights represent an important mechanism for governing banks. Finally, the evidence does not support the view that empowering official supervisory and regulatory agencies will increase the market valuation of banks"--NBER website
