Off-budget misappropriationsDistortionary allocations for clientelism can
evade scrutiny moving from:● Budgets – cash● Arrears (“accruals”)● State owned enterprises resources● Private money, through regulation (e.g.,
gas)

MeasurementTwo main ways to misappropriate funds from
SOEs:
1. Overstated public procurement
SOE concludes non-competitively purchase contracts at above market price with favorite partners
2. Understated sales
SOEs sells non-competitively at below market prices to favorite partners
Measurement: benchmark with market price, compare profitability rates of companies

Corporate governance issuesDistance between manager and shareholder
Providers of public goods or social services (state pays so that SOE delivers to citizen); vs provider of commercial goods (citizen pays in full).Ex: Passenger railways vs energy company
Public good provision: to be paid in full by budget
Profitability measurable and comparable with private sector

Overstated procurementIssue: SOEs contract non-competitively with
favorite partners at above market pricesE.g., Hidroelectrica divested maintenance to Hidroserv
subsidiaries; renegotiations reduced costs by 30%

Understated sales
Issue: SOE sells at below market price to favorite partners
E.g. Hidroelectrica sold 12 TWh in 2011 @ 121 RON/MWh; average market price in 2006-2011 192 RON/MWh, foregone revenue 852 mn RON (about 200 mn EUR).
Clients: trans-party; loss approx constant across time; frequent renegotiation
Measurement: Foregone profits; profitability
