OECD work on trade shapes international policymaking by raising awareness of existing problems and barriers to fair international competition – be it through research on global value chains, trade in value-added, or the flow of services. Building on its insights and evidence-based analysis, the Organization provides Trade Ministers and senior policy-makers with actionable policy recommendations. As the OECD also acts as a knowledge partner to international bodies, including the WTO, the G7 and G20, UNCTAD and APEC, it strongly influences debates among the world’s most important economies.
Our Trade Committee contributes and provides access to the work of the following OECD bodies:
- OECD Trade Committee
- OECD Global Forum on Trade
