What in the world is OECD?

Among the alphabet soup of big international organisations like IMF, UN or WTO, the OECD is perhaps one of the less well understood. OECD stands for Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development. Located in Paris, the OECD was established as a successor to the Marshall Plan, to serve as forum for policy development and review. Membership consists of a broad group of democratic, market oriented, industrial (or now post-industrial) countries of the world.

Here in Paris, OECD Week at OECD Headquarters is an annual public forum and ministerial meeting. Click here to see the 2019 materials.
