State-Owned Enterprises

State-owned enterprises (SOEs) are organisations where the state or government has significant control through full or part ownership. The number of SOEs has grown significantly over the past 10 years and, by the end of 2020, the total value of assets in SOEs globally was US $45 trillion (source: IMF 2020). This impressive growth, especially in emerging markets, means it is likely that you are conducting business with SOEs and, in order to minimise both regulatory and reputational risk, it is essential that you understand who your customers and suppliers are.

Our SOE dataset allows you to identify organisations across the Middle East and Africa which are directly or indirectly state-owned and then explore the ownership structure of each. We provide connections up to 6 degrees away from the relevant government/s.
