Why the OECD’s Work on Southeast Asia Matters
For over 25 years, the OECD and Southeast Asia have enjoyed a mutually beneficial relationship, fostering policy dialogue and disseminating good practices and mutual learning in areas such as investment, education, inclusiveness, sustainable infrastructures, good governance, access to markets, and fiscal policy. The OECD Southeast Asia Regional Programme, launched in 2014, has been instrumental in strengthening OECD co-operation with this dynamic region.
