The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) is an intergovernmental organization with 38 member countries. It was established in 1961 to promote policies that improve economic and social well-being globally. The OECD serves as a forum where member countries, committed to democracy and market economies, can compare policy experiences and coordinate on international issues.

The organization is notable for its role in stimulating economic progress and world trade. It provides a platform for identifying good practices, seeking solutions to common problems, and coordinating domestic and international policies. The OECD is widely recognized for its extensive data collection and analysis, producing influential reports and standards on a diverse range of topics from economics and education to environmental policy.

Recently, the OECD has been in the news for a variety of reasons. These include new leadership appointments within the organization's secretariat. Concurrently, several of its recent reports and analyses have garnered attention, covering topics such as international comparisons of digital financial literacy, the progressiveness of national and regional tax systems, and new international pledges on transparency in export finance for the energy sector.
