Why the OECD matters to business
For decades, the OECD has provided unique value promoting private sector-led growth, from improving economic performance, fostering trade, investment, entrepreneurship, and job creation, over leading global tax discussions to shaping the sustainability agenda. The OECD provides a forum for governments to collaborate on economic and social policy issues with tangible outputs that impact the private sector.
Explore the various policy areas, where the OECD impacts the private sector community.
