Policy challenges and options regarding state-owned enterprises

This chapter summarises evidence found in this report to assess the degree to which concerns related to SOEs as global competitors are shared by regulators and businesses. It further draws dividing lines between various policy communities on the types of challenges, and weighs in on the main concerns that need be addressed: namely: maintaining a level the playing field, and reconciling SOE public policy obligations. It considers the importance of these challenges and the policy tools that currently exist to help governments maintain a level playing field between SOEs and the private sector.
