2-3 December 2008 – Camino Real Polanco, Mexico City, Mexico

The OECD in partnership with the IFC/World Bank Group organised the 2008 meeting of the Latin American Roundtable on Corporate Governance in Mexico City.

This meeting provided an important opportunity to take stock of recent corporate governance-related developments in Latin America, particularly in the wake of the current global financial turmoil.  The aim was to help policy-makers, regulators, investors, businesses and other corporate governance advocates to advance in relation to four main themes:

  • reviewing policy and best practice recommendations of the proposed White Paper on Institutional Investors and Corporate Governance, building on previous discussions;
  • considering recent trends among stock exchanges to demutualise and enhance cross-border trading, and the implications for their role in corporate governance;
  • discussing recent trends and priorities for enforcement in the region;
  • developing a proactive agenda to anticipate risks and overcome obstacles to better corporate governance in the region that takes into account recent international developments in the markets.

These discussions provided a basis for establishing the Roundtable’s priorities for the future.
