It was established in 1961 and is headquartered in Paris, France. The OECD currently has 38 member countries, including most of the major industrialized nations, as well as a number of emerging economies.
The OECD provides a forum for its member countries to discuss and coordinate economic policies, share best practices, and develop evidence-based policies to address global challenges. It conducts research, produces reports and statistics, and provides policy recommendations on a wide range of economic and social issues, including economic growth, trade, employment, education, health, environment, taxation, and more.
The OECD's mission is to promote policies that will improve the economic and social well-being of people around the world. It focuses on issues such as fostering economic growth, increasing employment, raising living standards, promoting sustainable development, and supporting good governance. The organization works through a variety of committees, working groups, and expert groups composed of representatives from member countries, and collaborates with other international organizations, governments, and stakeholders to achieve its goals.
The OECD has been instrumental in the development of international standards and guidelines in areas such as taxation, anti-bribery, and environmental policy. It also conducts peer reviews of its member countries' policies and practices, providing a platform for policy dialogue and mutual learning. The OECD's work is widely recognized for its analytical rigor, evidence-based approach, and policy relevance, and its recommendations often inform national and international policy-making processes.
