50th anniversary of the OECD

In May, the OECD celebrated its 50th anniversary in Paris under the title Better Policies for Better Lives.

According to Martine Durand, the OECD will continue as an intergovernmental organization while it is opening up for new countries.

"The OECD has been a place where the best practices and policies have been shared during the last fifty years. This will continue in the future. We have also enlarged by taking in new member states."

Last year, the OECD accepted Israel, Chile, Slovenia and Estonia as new members. Russia is also expected to join in the future. "In addition, we have a programme of engagement with major emerging economies."

Martine Durand points out that the OECD will hold on to its values, such as democracy, market economy and free trade, also in the future. "The world and economies are changing, and our activities must reflect that change."
