2010 Review of the implementation status of corporate governance disclosures: An inventory of disclosure requirements in 21 frontier markets

The UNCTAD secretariat presented its 2010 corporate governance disclosure review, which this year provided an assessment of the status of disclosure requirements of enterprises listed on stock exchanges in 21 frontier markets. The paper pointed out that in frontier markets, there were fewer disclosure requirements in place than in larger emerging markets or developed countries. During the discussions, one delegate requested additional information on the research conducted on regulatory requirements in his country; the secretariat highlighted the sources of references, and also proposed to all delegates the option of conducting individual country case studies, wherever possible. Several delegates commented on the useful findings that the report provided and the relevance of the topic. A delegate from an institute of directors noted that research on this subject had been carried out in his country too, and he shared some findings of this research with the group.
