| Summary: | This Integrated State-Owned
Enterprises Framework (iSOEF) assessment has been carried
out in the context of the World Bank’s dialogue with the
government of Niger (GoN) on state-owned enterprises (SOEs).
The GoN is considering progressive reform to control
SOE-related budget expenditures, improve financial and
operational performance, and better manage emanating fiscal
risks. The Niger iSOEF focuses on the fiscal implications of
SOE reform and on corporate governance and accountability
mechanisms. Based on the fiscal risk assessment and
diagnosis of governance rules and practices, this study
incorporates an action plan of policies and options for
reforms that are deemed feasible within Niger’s context.The
report is organized as follows. Chapter 2, the SOE
Landscape, provides an overview of the SOE sector in Niger,
covering the size, scope, and performance of SOEs. Chapter
3, based on Module 2 of the iSOEF, provides a fiscal risk
assessment of the SOE sector, including a fiscal
sustainability analysis covering different scenarios.
Chapter 4, based on Module 4 of the iSOEF, reviews the
corporate governance and accountability mechanisms
pertaining to SOEs in Niger, including the legal and
regulatory framework and the state’s oversight role and
capacity to exercise its ownership and control functions
effectively. Chapter 5 proposes reform options, adapted to
the country context, that target improved SOE governance in
the short and medium term. |
