OECD report: The Future of Corporate Governance in Capital Markets Following the COVID-19 Crisis

The OECD has published a report titled 'The Future of Corporate Governance in Capital Markets Following the COVID-19 Crisis": see here. Here is the report's executive summary: 

This report presents indicators and analysis of capital structures, corporate performance, the use of market-based financing, corporate ownership structures and payout policies over the last two decades. It reviews regulatory and financial support measures related to the COVID-19 crisis in the areas of corporate governance and corporate finance. It then presents key indicators relating to the non-financial corporate sector’s use of public equity and corporate bond markets during 2020, and reviews central bank policies related to the corporate bond markets. Using an analysis of structural weaknesses in both the public equity and corporate bond markets worldwide, the report focuses on the role that capital markets can play on the road to recovery and resilience. It also identifies key corporate governance policy issues that may require further attention in the post-crisis era.
