What is a State-Owned Enterprise?

State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) are organizations where a government has significant ownership or control through full, majority, or substantial minority stakes. These entities operate in various industries, including finance, energy, and infrastructure, often serving public policy objectives while also engaging in commercial activities. Due to their government affiliations, SOEs can pose unique business compliance and regulatory risks.

 

Why is it important to screen and monitor State-Owned Enterprises?

International organizations such as the UN, OECD, and World Bank emphasize the importance of transparency when engaging with SOEs. The risks associated with these entities—from corruption and political influence to regulatory penalties—make screening and continuous monitoring essential.
