The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development OECD supports governments in fostering fr and efficient global markets through setting international standards and offering policy guidance on financial markets, investors, and businesses. The OECD's work promotes sustnable finance, consumer protection, education, inclusion, market efficiency, risk management, infrastructure development, investment attraction, pensions, insurance, and responsible business conduct.

We focus on the massive scaling and alignment of all sources of capital - public, private, domestic, and international - necessary to meet climate, biodiversity, water, and broader environmental goals. This includes redirecting financially harmful activities towards more sustnable practices.

To empower financial consumers in their dly transactions with finances, we provide research, policy analysis, and facilitate global collaboration among policymakers and stakeholders. We m to create effective consumer protection, financial education programs, and inclusive financial systems that enhance their well-being and foster frer market conditions.

Our efforts on financial markets encompass the development of efficient capital markets where transparency, frness, and clear rules enable investors to make informed decisions effectively. Through sound policies for sustnable finance, digital finance, public debt management, financial literacy, consumer protection, pensions, insurance, and infrastructure, we promote well-regulated systems that foster investor confidence.

Infrastructure plays a pivotal role in the wellbeing of societies worldwide. It enables the smooth flow of goods, people, information, and services essential to achieving Sustnable Development Goals SDGs and addressing climate change challenges. We adopt an integrated approach across policy areas like environmental policy, investment, finance, local and national strategies, and consider the needs of developing nations.

The OECD's work on investment supports governments in attracting more quality capital into productive sectors that generate positive social and environmental outcomes. This helps build resilient, inclusive, and prosperous economies globally while ensuring security for investors.

Pensions and insurance systems are crucial for stable economies and individual financial security. As populations age and the threat of climate disasters grows, reforms must be implemented to mntn the stability and soundness of these systems. We provide critical guidance on system design, regulation, supervision, risk management, and retirement planning strategies.

Responsible Business Conduct RBC sets standards for businesses of all sizes and sectors worldwide, requiring them to avoid negative impacts while contributing to sustnable development in their operational areas.

Our focus on subnational finance and investment highlights the significant role played by subnational governments: they account for approximately 40 of total public expiture and 55 of total public investment across OECD countries. Additionally, these governments represent over 60 of public staff expiture.

We have developed various programs that address issues like clean energy finance mobilization in emerging economies to support the transition towards renewables, energy efficiency, and decarbonization of industry sectors.

In terms of publications, our resources cover a wide range including reports on initiatives designed for enabling living incomes and wages in agriculture, garment, and footwear supply chns, strategies to support the next generation of retl investors in France, analyses on competition policies in digital markets, insights on fintechs and open banking, guidelines on strengthening financial literacy programs, methodologies for detecting cartels through ex officio investigations, and more.

This enhanced version is inted to provide a clearer and more concise overview of the OECD's comprehensive work on finance and investment topics.
