The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development

The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) is an intergovernmental economic organization in which the 30 member countries1 discuss, develop and analyze economic and social policy. While all of the member countries are considered to be economically advanced and collectively produce two-thirds of the world's goods and services, membership is limited only by a country's commitment to a market economy and a pluralistic democracy. The majority of the work performed by the OECD is provided by the Secretariat in Paris, which collects data, monitors trends, analyzes and forecasts economic developments, researches social changes and patterns in trade, environment, agriculture, technology, taxation, and more. The U.S. and the OECD have periodically sparred over various issues, including U.S. antidumping laws. Since September 11, the OECD has altered its agenda to pursue terrorist financing. Key issues for Congress include OECD work on coordinating national approaches to curtailing bribery and tax havens. The Bush administration has proposed appropriating $92 million to the OECD in FY2006, an increase from the FY2005 budget.
