Corporate Governance Standards In GCC Undergoing Major Development, Says Hawkamah/IIF Report

Downward corrections in Gulf Co-operation Council (GCC) stock markets and increased corporate activity by GCC corporations in Western markets are driving improvements in corporate governance standards, according to a report released today by Hawkamah, the Institute for Corporate Governance, and the Institute of International Finance (IIF). The report is part of a co-ordinated strategy toward the harmonization of corporate governance standards in the GCC and their alignment with international best practice.
