The Chair of the Hellenic Capital Market Commission, Vassiliki Lazarakou, has been re-elected as a member of the Bureau of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Corporate Governance Committee for 2027. Ms Lazarakou has served on the Committee’s Bureau since 2023.
The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) is an international organisation that promotes cooperation and the exchange of experience and best practices to shape public policy, the announcement said.
It produces data and analysis and provides strategic advice on a wide range of issues, from improving economic performance and creating jobs to education and tackling international tax evasion. It also helps set international standards.
The OECD Corporate Governance Committee coordinates and guides the Organisation’s work on corporate governance, corporate finance and state-owned enterprises. In this context, it oversees the implementation of the G20/OECD Principles of Corporate Governance, as well as the Organisation’s Guidelines on Corporate Governance of State-Owned Enterprises.
It also guides and supports dialogue with non-member economies on these issues.
The Chair of the Hellenic Capital Market Commission, Vassiliki Lazarakou, said: My re-election to the Bureau of the OECD Corporate Governance Committee for 2027 is a great honour and responsibility. It also recognises the active participation of the Hellenic Capital Market Commission in international dialogue and in promoting high standards of corporate governance.
The implementation of the G20/OECD Principles of Corporate Governance is an important tool for transparency, management accountability and investor protection. Adapting to technological developments and integrating sustainability issues into corporate governance remain critical challenges for businesses and capital markets.
With consistency, a spirit of cooperation and a commitment to our shared goals, we will continue to contribute to the exchange of expertise and promote best practices for the benefit of well-functioning markets and investor protection.
