As key players in public policies designed to support
economic, social and environmental transitions, they
must be efficient, transparent and economically
balanced. From the provision of public and social services to the implementation of sectoral policies relating to industry, infrastructure, energy, health, digital technology and transportation, state-owned enterprises play a major role in achieving the sustainable development objectives. Their governance is therefore essential.

governance of state-owned enterprises, particularly on issues related to the state/state-owned enterprise relationship.
