It highlights SOEs’ potential roles in development and emerging economies, the importance of governance and anti-corruption in performance outcomes, and challenges linked to mixed mandates and political importance. Key recommendations emphasize regulatory reform, financial sustainability and PFM attention, and sequencing driven by country context.","Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized  \nState Your Business! An Evaluation of World Bank Group Support to the Reform of State-Owned Enterprises, FY08-18  \nand the Draft Management Response  \nReport to the Board from the  \nCommittee on Development Effectiveness ∗  \nMeeting of October 26, 2020  \nThe Committee on Development Effectiveness (CODE) met to consider the report entitled State Your Business! An Evaluation of World Bank Group Support to the Reform of State-Owned Enterprises, FY08-18 (CODE 2020-0048) and the Draft Management Response (CODE2020-0053) .  \nThe Committee welcomed IEG’s first systematic assessment ofthe WBG’s support for the reform of State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) for the period 2008-2018 and commended it for the quality and learning orientation of the Report. Members were pleased to learn that Management broadly agreed with IEG’s findings and that it was already working in the direction of the Report’s recommendations.  \nMembers welcomed the Report’s findings that SOEs can play a major role in both developing and emerging economies to achieve economic, social, and political objectives, including to promote growth; deliver and extend access to services; fill market gaps; develop key sectors or regions; job creation; and to address issues of heightened national priority or security. They noted the use of SOEs by governments and donors, including the WBG, to channel subsidies or benefits, such as deferred payment of utility bills or subsidized credit to enterprises in response to the COVID-19 crisis. Members highlighted the importance of SOE reforms to help client countries achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and recognized that even in normal times, SOEs’ mixed institutional mandates and political importance often pose performance, financial and governance challenges. They acknowledged the evaluation’s findings that reforms have higher rates of successful outcomes in countries with better control of corruption and competitive conditions at the sector and enterprise level and that positive experiences from collaboration across WBG institutions is a key to mobilizing private financing and capabilities consistent with the MFD/Cascade.  \nMembers underscored the importance of corporate governance and corruption, especially in challenging market environments noting that this should not inadvertently lead to a movement away from these challenging environments, particularly in IDA and FCS countries. They noted that SOE reform is broader than ownership and privatization and underscored the importance of regulatory reforms to promote competition and remove potential bottlenecks for private players. Members noted that financial sustainability issues in many SOEs and their impact on general government budget are often a challenge in client countries and encouraged Management to continue paying close attention to PFM reforms.  \nThe Committee recognized that SOE reforms could be used to help client countries overcome public sector and MDBs limited financing capacity and that by promoting, when relevant, a more robust and commercially organized governance of SOEs, including with the use of de-risking instruments, the WBG could set clients on a trajectory from sovereign-guaranteed public sector financing to commercial financing. Members highlighted that mobilizing private financing for SOE reform can have positive externalities, notably in terms of transparency and underscored that the sequencing of reforms must be driven by country context, making policy analysis an essential part of the assessment. They recognized that  \n∗ This report is not an approved record.  \nSOEs can impose barriers to private participation in sectors where their dominant presence enables anticompetitive behavior. They noted that SOEs represent a fertile ground for the implementation of the Cascade approach and for the Group to strengthen its collaboration efforts and encouraged Management to continue assisting client c","cbCaifzgYKvEY1Ck","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaifzgYKvEY1Ck","pdf",165318,5,1,2,"English","en",105,"# Meeting overview\n## IEG evaluation and management response\n# Key findings on SOE roles and reform outcomes\n## Development impact and service delivery\n## Governance, corruption, and competitive conditions\n# Policy and implementation recommendations\n## Regulatory and PFM considerations\n## Private financing, sequencing, and the Cascade approach","[{\"question\":\"What evaluation and management response were reviewed by the Committee on Development Effectiveness?\",\"answer\":\"The Committee reviewed an IEG evaluation titled “State Your Business!
