This includes local and national level approaches, particularly in the context of developing countries, focusing on resilient and sustnable infrastructure projects to meet SDG targets.
Investment Attraction: We help governments attract more investments into productive sectors while considering environmental, social, and governance ESG criteria. This contributes significantly towards building resilient, inclusive economies globally that can withstand economic shocks.

Furthermore, the Organisation promotes the concept of clean energy finance med at catalyzing domestic reforms that can unlock private sector investments into renewable energy, energy efficiency projects, and decarbonization initiatives in developing economies.
In , our work encompasses a wide array of policy areas including financial markets regulation, digital economy guidelines, consumer protection strategies, infrastructure development frameworks, investment facilitation measures, pension systems improvement, insurance industry guidance, responsible business practices promotion, subnational finance and investment policies, among others.
The OECD is committed to providing robust analysis, promoting global cooperation, sharing best practices, establishing international standards for governance and risk management, ensuring fr competition in the market, supporting financial education for citizens of all ages, advocating sustnable development goals through strategic investments, and fostering responsible business conduct across industries.
