The OECD Corporate Governance Factbook 2025 is a comprehensive biennial publication that provides easily accessible and up-to-date information on the institutional, legal, and regulatory frameworks for corporate governance across 52 jurisdictions worldwide. The primary purpose of the Factbook is to complement the G20/OECD Principles of Corporate Governance and serve as a tool for tracking how these Principles are being implemented globally.
The current edition includes new content addressing emerging regulatory concerns, specifically focusing on equity markets for growth companies, regulations concerning general shareholder meetings, and the growing role of corporate sustainability (ESG factors) within governance structures. The report is used by governments, financial regulators, and various stakeholders to compare national frameworks and evaluate the latest global trends in corporate governance best practices.
The Factbook is a critical resource for Indian policymakers and regulators (like the Ministry of Corporate Affairs and SEBI) to benchmark Indiaβs corporate governance framework against international best practices and guide reforms aimed at improving investor protection, market transparency, and sustainable business conduct.
