State-owned enterprises (SOEs) continue to represent a significant share of Ukraine's economy, and play a dominant role in sectors such as rail, transport, utilities, energy and telecommunications. These enterprises play an important role for the government by remitting dividend payments to the national treasury to fund the country's development agenda. At the same time, these same enterprises government receive fiscal support through a transfer of budgetary resources, issuance of guarantees for enterprise debt, facilitation to lines of credit, and other financial instruments. Ukraine's SOE sector has a wide range of ownership and management schemes. The basic legal framework for SOE oversight, defined in the Commercial Code of Ukraine, provides for the delegation of responsibilities across several ministries/agencies. As a result, there are overlapping roles across different government institutions, and gaps with regard to active monitoring and oversight. In practice, the SOE oversight function of the line ministries is primarily exercised through a review of the reports submitted by the SOEs on the implementation of financial plans. However, the review is typically light, and its efficiency is undermined by the limited clarity of the operating objectives for SOEs, and limited usefulness of the performance management framework. Moreover, the underlying data used to measure performance indicators is not validated and its reliability is uncertain. Even though the current performance management framework can be improved, performance evaluations are not conducted for a substantial number of SOEs which seriously undermines the effectiveness of oversight.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO INFORMATIONACCOUNTABILITYACCOUNTINGACCOUNTING STANDARDSBANKING SECTORBANKRUPTCYBANKSBIDSBOARDS OF DIRECTORSBONDSBUDGET CONSTRAINTSBUDGETARY RESOURCESCAPITAL INVESTMENTSCAPITAL MARKETSCAPITAL STRUCTURECASH FLOWCENTRAL GOVERNMENTCENTRAL GOVERNMENT AUTHORITIESCITIZENSCOMMERCIAL CODECONSOLIDATIONCONSOLIDATIONSCONSTITUTIONCORPORATE GOVERNANCECORPORATE LAWCORPORATIONCORRUPTIONCREDIT LINESCREDIT RATINGCREDIT RATING AGENCIESCREDIT WORTHINESSCREDITORSCURRENCYCURRENT MANAGEMENTDEBTDEBT INSTRUMENTSDEBT LEVELDEBT LEVELSDEBT REDUCTIONDEBT SERVICINGDECISION MAKINGDEMOCRACYDISCLOSUREDISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTSDIVIDEND PAYMENTSEMERGING MARKETEMERGING MARKET ECONOMIESENTERPRISE RESTRUCTURINGEQUIPMENTEXECUTIONEXECUTIVE BODIESEXPANSIONARY FISCALEXPENDITUREEXPENDITURESEXTERNAL DEBTEXTERNAL FUNDINGFINANCESFINANCIAL CONTROLFINANCIAL CRISISFINANCIAL INFORMATIONFINANCIAL INSTRUMENTSFINANCIAL MANAGEMENTFINANCIAL MARKETFINANCIAL PERFORMANCEFINANCIAL RESULTSFINANCIAL SECTORFINANCIAL STABILITYFINANCIAL STATEMENTSFINANCIERFISCAL DECENTRALIZATIONFISCAL DEFICITFISCAL DEFICITSFISCAL DISCIPLINEFISCAL POLICIESFISCAL PRESSURESFISCAL RESOURCESFIXED ASSETSFOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENTFOREIGN EXCHANGEFOREIGN EXCHANGE RESERVESFOREIGN INVESTMENTGOVERNANCE SYSTEMGOVERNMENT ACTIONGOVERNMENT AGENCIESGOVERNMENT AGENCYGOVERNMENT FINANCIAL SUPPORTGOVERNMENT GUARANTEESGOVERNMENT INSTITUTIONSGOVERNMENT INTERVENTIONGOVERNMENT MINISTRIESGOVERNMENT OWNERSHIPGOVERNMENT PROGRAMSGOVERNMENT REVENUESGROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCTHOLDINGHOLDING COMPANIESHOLDINGSIMPLICIT GUARANTEESINFRASTRUCTURE FINANCINGINSTRUMENTINTERNAL AUDITINTERNAL AUDIT FUNCTIONINTERNAL FINANCEINTERNATIONAL FINANCEINTERNATIONAL MARKETSINTERNATIONAL STANDARDINTERNATIONAL STANDARDSINVESTMENT RISKISSUANCEISSUANCE OF GUARANTEESJOINT STOCK COMPANIESJOINT-STOCK COMPANIESJOINT-STOCK COMPANYLABOR UNIONLACK OF TRANSPARENCYLACK OF TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITYLEGAL ENTITIESLEGAL FORMLEGAL FRAMEWORKLEGAL OBLIGATIONSLEGISLATIONLEVEL PLAYING FIELDLIMITEDLIMITED LIABILITYLIMITED LIABILITY COMPANIESLINES OF CREDITLIQUIDATIONLIQUIDITYLIQUIDITY RATIOLOANLOCAL GOVERNMENTLOCAL GOVERNMENTSMANAGERSMARKET ECONOMYMARKET PRACTICESMARKET TRANSPARENCYMATURITYMATURITY STRUCTUREMINISTERSMINISTRY OF FINANCEMONETARY FUNDMONOPOLIESNATIONAL SECURITYNATIONAL TREASURYNATIONALIZATIONPARTNERSHIPPOLITICAL INTERFERENCEPOLITICAL VOLATILITYPOLITICIANSPOOR GOVERNANCEPORTFOLIOPORTFOLIOSPRIVATE CAPITALPRIVATE INVESTMENTSPROPERTY RIGHTSPUBLIC FUNDSPUBLIC HEALTHPUBLIC OFFICIALSPUBLIC POLICYPUBLIC PROCUREMENTPUBLIC RESOURCESPUBLIC SECTORPUBLIC SERVICERATES OF RETURNRATIONALIZATIONREAL EXCHANGE RATEREGISTRY SYSTEMREGULATORY FRAMEWORKREGULATORY FRAMEWORKSREMITTANCEREPRESENTATIVESREPUBLICSRETURN ON ASSETSRISK MANAGEMENTRISK MANAGEMENT SYSTEMSSECURITIESSECURITIES MARKETSEPARATION OF OWNERSHIPSHAREHOLDERSHAREHOLDERSSOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURESOCIETYSOLVENCYSTATE ADMINISTRATIONSTATE AGENCIESSTATE AGENCYSTATE ASSETSSTATE BUDGETSTATE CONTROLSTATE CORPORATE LAWSTATE ENTERPRISESTATE ENTERPRISESSTATE GUARANTEESSTATE OWNERSHIPSTATE PROPERTYSTATE REGULATIONSTATE-OWNED ENTERPRISESSTATUTORY FUNDSSTOCK EXCHANGESTOCK MARKETSTOCK MARKET LAWSUBSIDIARIESTAKEOVERSTAXTAX ADMINISTRATIONTAX ARREARSTAX COLLECTIONTAX COLLECTIONSTAX POLICYTAX REGIMETAX REVENUESTELECOMMUNICATIONSTRANSITION ECONOMIESTRANSPARENCYTRANSPARENT MECHANISMSTURNOVERVALUATIONSVALUE OF ASSETSWorld Bank10.1596/12472
