They emphasized the need to improve corporate governance and enterprise performance through implementation of laws on bankruptcy procedures and creditors' rights. Directors noted the need for improvements in the reliability, coverage, and timeliness of economic data, and recommended the authorities to participate in the General Data Dissemination System.
