The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) is an international multilateral organization composed of 30 member countries, representing approximately 60% of the world economy, 70% of world trade, and 20% of the world’s population. It is dedicated to ensuring the sustainable economic prosperity of its members and non-members through the advancement and dissemination of best market economic, social and democratic practices. Within the OECD, governments work together to address the challenges of globalisation.
Canada views the OECD as a key forum for progress on international economic and social issues and benefits from membership in an international forum where countries collectively define policy and guidelines designed to improve living standards.
