A Look at Global Governance Developments


As a supplement to ISS Governance Services’ recently released 2007 Postseason Report, we’ve published an article titled, Tracking Progress: A Look at Global Governance Developments, which summarizes corporate governance developments in a handful of international capital markets. The overview looks at key legal and regulatory changes in markets such as Denmark, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, and South Africa, noting, for example, the adoption of a new corporate governance regime by Consob, the Italian regulator, as well as Dutch plans to lower shareholding disclosure thresholds from 5 percent to 3 percent. The article also examines governance developments in Belgium, Greece, and Singapore.
