Competitive neutrality is an important factor of the efficiency of mixed markets. Despite the general consent of the governments of OECD countries on the necessity to ensure a level playing field between private and public copanies on mixed markets, in practice, only a few of them take the operation of a complex. Moreover, across countries there are important differences in terms of scope and nature of the instruments used to ensure competitive neutrality. These differences have a negative impact on competition in global markets in terms of internationalization of public enterprises, and when these markets include public companies from countries that are not signatories of good practices on competitive neutrality.
