People in many countries, especially advanced countries, are expressing growing discontent about globalisation. They feel that its benefits have accrued mostly to a small and already well-off segment of the population. In addition, many citizens are dissatisfied with the way economic integration has been advanced. They complain about too little transparency and too many conflicts of interests between policy makers and firms. Several of the negative effects feeding the discontent have more to do with technological change than with globalisation per se, but the two are closely intertwined. Moreover, the policies put in place to alleviate negative impacts of economic openness on some groups, industries and regions have not always worked as intended, and global rule-making has not kept up with reality. Given its many benefits, reversing economic integration is not a solution. Rather, we need to find ways to make it work for all. This report sets out what needs to be done to advance a fairer and more inclusive globalisation - at the global level, at the European level and within Germany.

The new OECD Guidelines on Corporate Governance of State-Owned Enterprises provide an internationally agreed benchmark to help governments assess and improve the way they exercise their ownership functions in state-owned enterprises. Good corporate governance of state-owned enterprises is a key reform priority in many countries. Improved efficiency and better transparency in the state owned sector will result in considerable economic gains, especially in countries where state ownership is important. In addition, creating a level playing field for private and state-owned enterprises will encourage a sound and competitive business sector. The Guidelines, first adopted in 2005, provide a set of good practices on the legal and regulatory framework for state-owned enterprises (SOEs), the professionalisation of the state ownership function and the corporate governance arrangements of SOEs. This new version of the recommendation was developed in the light of almost a decade of experiences with its implementation and a number of thematic and comparative studies, developed on the basis of the earlier version of the Guidelines, that showed the need for, and supported, their revision, including in areas such as disclosure and transparency, public-private competition, board practices and funding and financing of SOE.

Nordisk Ministerråds budget for 2009 afspejler Nordisk Ministerråds politiske prioriteringer. Budgettet giver plads til den nødvendige kontinuitet i det nordiske samarbejde, og samtidig sikrer det den omfattende fornyelse i globali-seringsarbejdet, som blev skudt i gang efter statsministrenes sommermøde i Punkaharju, Finland i 2007. Punkaharju-mødet er siden fulgt op af det første nordiske globaliseringsforum, der fandt sted i Riksgränsen i Sverige i april 2008, hvor det blev drøftet hvordan de nordiske lande i fællesskab kan håndtere og drage nytte af globali-seringens udfordringer og muligheder. Statsministrene har givet de nordiske samarbejdsministre til opgave at koordinere dette arbejde. Denne proces har til tider været en udfordrende opgave, men også nødvendig for at Nordisk Ministerråds budget skal afspejle de fastsatte politiske prioriteringer. I den forbindelse vil jeg nævne, hvad der kan betegnes som en milepæl i det nordiske globaliseringsarbejde, nemlig at uddannelses- og forskningsministrene er kommet et stort skridt videre med Topforsknings-initiativet. De har i efteråret 2008 besluttet, at nationale aktører i de kommende år skal indskyde ca. 225 MDKK til Topforskningsinitia-tivet, udover Nordisk Ministerråds og dets institutioner ca. 160 MDKK.

This book analyzes the wealth management of mid-high net worth individuals and families. As China's economy develops and people's living standards improve, more and more families are becoming well-off and the middle-income group continues to expand. After creating wealth and becoming rich, better guarding, spreading and enjoying wealth is not only an urgent challenge faced by more and more micro-families, but also an inevitable need to enrich and energize people's livelihood and the connotation of a good life. Mid-high net worth people are an organic part of China's middle-income group, as well as the future coordinates of many families that have just crossed into the middle-income group. An accurate portrait of this group and an in-depth study of the needs, habits, ways and effects of their family wealth management and distribution are conducive to better responding to the demands of affluent families to "keep, pass on and enjoy wealth," as well as exploring the path of solidly promoting common prosperity at the micro-family level. From this perspective, Institute of Social Science Survey of Peking University has conducted a panoramic analysis on mid-high net worth people from panel survey with more 16,000 households in China after 10 years of tracking and investigation, from six aspects: behavioral patterns, financial asset allocation, non-financial asset allocation, commercial insurance allocation, children's commercial medical insurance allocation and pension insurance allocation, the importance of which is self-evident. As the first systematic work on asset allocation and insurance protection of Chinese middle and high net worth families, although part of the purpose is to explore the demand for insurance protection and develop the commercial insurance market, there is no doubt that this study is an important reference for the government to formulate social security policies and for financial institutions to optimize the supply of family wealth services.
