The main aim of this symposium is to illustrate the Best Global Practices in the context of Corporate Governance, which has become a pressing concern and urgency after the negative effects of the Global Financial Crisis on companies all over the world, targeting companies, which have no rational governance system.
What distinguishes this symposium from all the others is the Involvement of OECD, World Bank and participation of Swedish Trade Council and its professionals and experts in the field of Corporate Governance, reflecting the Swedes, which has kept them untouched and floating during the extreme fluctuating markets in the recent past.
The Swedish experience has a lot of positive characteristics that distinct Sweden and the rest of the Scandinavian countries from other countries. The winning character practiced by the Swedish companies is the high degree of self-commitment towards corporate governance standards, issued by The Swedish Corporate Governance Board. Especially most of these companies are family businesses listed in the financial market.
The outcome to be achieved by this symposium is to capture those standards and implement them in Saudi market and practice them diligently, making our market stronger and stable for future.
