Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diploma Thesis from the year 2009 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: Sehr Gut, University of Vienna, language: English, abstract: English: In today ́s business world corporate governance has become one of the most discussed and most important matters. Corporate governance criteria have been put right in the middle of investment decisions - especially in emerging markets. In addition to that, a series of events like business scandals, financial crises or business failures in the last 20 years has made corporate governance a key point in the business community in emerging markets, developing countries and economies in transition. There exists no general definition for the term corporate governance. Basically it can be viewed as a set of principles and rules by which a company is directed and controlled. Many countries have developed good corporate governance principles to improve the relationship between the shareholders of a company and the management. Factors like financial disclosure, more rights for shareholders and independent boards are crucial for investors who are looking for a stable growth of companies. Countries in the MENA region have put the implementation of such sound corporate governance codes in the middle of their agenda. Their aim is to create better economies and consequently a more attractive investment climate for possible investors in the future. This thesis tries to give the reader an insight into today ́s state of corporate governance in the Middle East and North Africa countries. The discussion is based on a survey which has been undertaken by the Hawkamah Institute for corporate governance in Dubai which focuses on the establishment of good corporate governance codes in this region.

Download or read book The Role of MENA Stock Exchanges in Corporate Governance written by Alissa Amico (Koldertsova) and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of the development of stock exchanges in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region is fascinating. While some exchanges in the region have only been established in the past five years, others have been active since the 19th century. And while regional bourses have emerged in very different economic contexts, they have facilitated the growth of capital markets in the region, which currently feature over 1400 listed companies. They have also contributed to improving the transparency of public markets, which is especially important following the events of the Arab Spring, which has seen calls for better transparency in the region. A number of important themes concerning the role of corporate governance in the development of Arab capital markets are explored in this report, providing orientations for individual stock exchanges on how good governance practices among issuers can be encouraged. The report points out that the role of Arab bourses in promoting corporate governance has been varied, depending on the division of regulatory and enforcement responsibilities between stock exchanges, securities regulators and other bodies.

The paper overviewed the governance models of the corporate sector and the securities market of eleven countries in the region out of eighteen. It is evident that MENA markets in the recent decade undergone number of reforms and restructuring on legislative and infrastructure fronts. However, the key issue is the gap between legislative framework and enforcement.

Download or read book Corporate Governance of Banks in Libya written by Ali Elfadli and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2019-09-23 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book represents a response to a relative lack of academic research into corporate governance and especially corporate governance disclosure in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). Specifically, the author explores recent developments in corporate governance disclosure produced by Libyan commercial banks. Along with other corporate governance mechanisms, disclosure plays an essential role in discharging accountability to and protecting shareholders, enhancing corporate performance and reducing the risk of financial crises. In order to improve corporate governance disclosure, it is necessary to understand the context in which it takes place. The MENA countries have unique characteristics, and those involved in the Arab Spring have been affected in different ways. This book provides up to date research into corporate governance disclosure in the context of Libya following the Arab Spring. The banking sector plays a crucial role in the Libyan economy and has specific characteristics which make corporate governance more important than in other sectors, yet research in this sector is rare. Furthermore, the banking sector in Libya has seen significant corporate governance reforms in recent years. As one of the most significant oil producing countries, Libya’s political and business environments have been dramatically affected by the Arab Spring. The author discusses how banks have responded to these reforms and the ways in which their corporate governance disclosure has evolved.

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 Corporate Governance written by Ali Mohammad Salman and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Several empirical studies showed that there exist significant differences in corporate ownership structures between different countries. Two different system s of corporate governance seem to have evolved in the past two decades. One group of countries exhibits a high level of ownership structure, illiquid stock markets, strong relations between companies and banks, a high degree of equity stakes hold by ot her companies (crossholdings). The system of these countries is termed as insider sy stem. The other group is characterized by widely dispersed ownership, liquid stock mar kets, a low level of inter- corporate crossholdings, and an active market of corporate c ontrol. The system in those countries is known as outsider system. In this project I dis cussed about the characteristics of the two systems as well as their strengths and weak nesses. I used the United States as an example of countries with outsider systems, and Jap an as an example of countries with insider systems. The U.S. corporate governance system that performed well in the past has recently been heavily criticized as a result of corporate failures like that of Enron. Japanese economy is also passing in a period of stagnation, and it is argued tha t corporate governance system in Japan is the cause of this decline in economic performance. So, reforms are needed to both systems in order to avoid corporate failures in the future and have better economic performance.
