Well-designed corporate governance policies can play an important role in contributing to the achievement of broader economic objectives. First, they help companies to access financing, particularly from capital markets, which in turn can promote innovation, productivity and entrepreneurship, and economic dynamism more broadly. Second, well-designed corporate governance policies provide a framework to protect investors, which include households with invested savings. Third, well-designed corporate governance policies also support the sustainability and resilience of corporations and, in turn, may contribute to the sustainability and resilience of the broader economy.
