The purpose of the meeting was to increase understanding of corporate governance and how it functions in developing countries and emerging economies, with the goal of determining how to improve corporate governance practices in these countries. Participants of the meeting included a variety of high level representatives of major institutional investors, corporate managers and directors, and government policymakers and regulators.
