|April 28, 2025

"Enhancing the GCG's responsibilities and oversight of GOCCs may support better alignment of GOCCs with the state's financial targets, risk tolerance, and sustainability-related expectations, consistent with the state's ownership policy," the OECD grouping of rich nations said in an April 25 report titled "Supporting state-owned enterprise reform in the Philippines," referring to the Governance Commission for GOCCs.
