Corporate Governance from Investors’ Perspective Webinar

August 12, 2020

ABOUT THE WEBINAR

During the past two decades, policy makers, regulators and market participants around the world have increasingly come to emphasize the need to develop good corporate governance policies and practices. An increasing amount of empirical evidence shows that good corporate governance contributes to competitiveness, facilitates corporate access to capital markets, and thus helps develop financial markets and spur economic growth. Today, both domestic and foreign investors place an ever-greater emphasis on the way that companies are operated and how they respond to their needs and demands. Investors are increasingly willing to pay a premium for well-governed companies that adhere to good board practices, provide for information disclosure and financial transparency, and respect shareholder rights. Well-governed companies are also better positioned to fulfill their economic, environmental, and social responsibilities, and contribute to sustainable growth.

The Webinar on Corporate Governance from Investors’ Perspective will help the participants to:

• Discuss the corporate governance expectations of investors and why they are important for Myanmar companies;
• Provide guidance for directors and executives in aligning with investors’ requirements with respect to the governance of their companies;
• Review practical examples of how corporate governance standards can be implemented.
