The eagerness of the Government to introduce reforms in business matters has manifested itself once again with a draft for a “Law for the Improvement of the Corporate Governance of Companies”.

Comercio ExteriorThe areas that the law intends to reform include general meeting of shareholders, conflicts of interest, the management of the company, votes, appeals against company agreements and the salaries of the directors, among others.

However, the most relevant modifications relate to three topics: shareholders will approve the policy of remuneration at least every three years, the capital necessary to exercise the rights of minority shareholders is reduced from 5% to 3% and the post of administrator should be held for a maximum period of four years, instead of the current six.

It remains to be see how the subsequent parliamentary processing of the draft will affect it´s content.
