Corporate Governance and The Performance of East Asian Financial Corporations

The issues related to corporate governance and performance have become more important for East Asian corporations. These corporations are adjusting their corporate governance towards the international corporate governance best practices in order to improve their corporate performance. The international standards are not likely to match the context of emerging markets since they are established and developed in Western countries in which corporate structures and environments are different from those of the East Asian corporations. This study analyzes the relationship between corporate governance and company performance of financial corporations in several countries, including Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand. Past research on corporate governance has also emphasized non-financial corporations. Financial corporations in East Asia are the focus of this study since the results are expected to contribute to improvement of the financial sector in the countries studied.
