Supporting development of a vibrant private sector has become an essential component of OECD’s efforts to boost the growth and stability of non-OECD economies. A significant part of this work has been entrusted to the Private Sector Development Division.

Based on unique peer learning methods and instruments, the OECD provides policy analysis and advice to governments on implementing effective policy reforms.  The aim is to encourage a sound business climate for investment, enhance productivity and competitiveness, support entrepreneurship and economic dynamism and ultimately raise living standards and alleviate poverty.

The OECD has launched programmes which are both regional and country-specific.  These programmes identify reform priorities, support implementation and benchmark progress.
