About

As a result of the limited availability of information on SOEs there is no clear way to demonstrate the impact that SOEs have on an economy. By way of this platform, the Advocata institute has tried to present all available information that is easily accessible to the public. Our SOE's dashboard tries to evaluate the performance of state owned enterprises. This has been carried out by developing a scorecard and then ranking 52 State Owned enterprises based on their overall scores. The methodology for the ranking can be accessed from the link below.
