State owned enterprise (SOE) reform has been critical to China’s successful economic reform in the past four decades, which resulted in 850 million people being pulled out of poverty (World Bank, 2017). ... See More + This is because at the outset of the economic reform, China’s non-agriculture sector, accounting for 60-65 percent of GDP and 30 percent of employment (World Bank, 1985, pp. 40, 42), were dominated by state ownership and central planning. Even today, a large SOE sector remains a hallmark of the Chinese economy. There were over 170,000 SOEs operating in the non-financial sectors in 2017 with a total of RMB 50 trillion (around USD 7 trillion) state equity capital, and the financial sector is dominated by state-owned financial institution in which the state has invested RMB 16 trillion (over USD 2 trillion) equity capital. Recent information released by senior leaders of the government suggests that SOEs generate around 30 percent of China’s GDP3. China’s unprecedented development success would have been unconceivable without its efforts in reforming the SOE sector. Starting from the 1980s, SOE reform has been an important component of the partnership between the World Bank and China. Over a period of more than three decades, the Bank worked closely with its Chinese partners to provide a stream of analytical and advisory services. This note is intended to be a brief review of the Bank’s engagement in this area in the overall context of China’s SOE reform.  See Less -
