Aid for Trade: Integrating global value chains
Sweden has a vision of an international trading system that embraces all nations of the world, not only those that are already well-off. That is why free trade coupled with trade-related development cooperation is a priority for the Swedish Government. This is also why I, as State Secretary to the Swedish Minister for Trade, am pleased that Sweden is co-arranging this Policy Dialogue on Aid for Trade in Paris on 16–17 January. Read more
Smart networks: coming soon to a home near you
In 2017 a household with two teenagers will have 25 Internet connected devices. In 2022 this will rise to 50, compared with only 10 today. In households in the OECD alone there will be 14 billion connected devices, up from 1.7 billion today and this doesn’t take into account everything outside the household and outside the OECD. All this leads to the smart world discussed in a new OECD paper, Building Blocks of Smart Networks. Read more
Think differently and get filming
Who needs the Sundance Film Festival when you have this? The OECD’s annual competition for young videomakers. Once again, we’re asking anyone aged between 18 and 25 to submit a short video (no more than three minutes) on a theme close to the OECD’s heart. This year, we want you to look at the global economy and then Think Differently: How would you shape tomorrow’s global economy? And what key issues do we need to think about to build a more inclusive world? The prize? An all-expenses-paid trip to Paris in late May, just in time for the OECD Forum. As previous entrants can testify, that’s well worth winning: “It’s one of the most enriching experience of my life,” said Rachit Sai Barak, a winner in 2012. “At the Forum I not only had the privilege to listen to some of the most eminent economists, politicians and leaders of the world, but I also got a chance to share my experiences, highlight problems and find effective solutions.” Read more
The OECD at Davos
The great and the good have been milling around Davos this week, mulling over the challenges facing the global economy. Among the attendees is the OECD’s Angel Gurría, who’s been talking to a number of news outlets. In an interview with Reuters, he was asked about British Prime Minister David Cameron’s pledge this week to renegotiate his country’s membership in the European Union and then ask British voters to decide on whether to stay in or get out of the EU. The OECD Secretary-General argued that much of Britain’s frustration with the EU arose from the divergence in economic performance across the bloc between the peripheral economies and countries like Germany. “Europe has a problem of divergence in productivity and competitiveness,” he said. But he argued that the EU was now firmly on a path of recovery and convergence that would make the bloc stronger over the next five years. “We’re rebuilding, it’s going to be stronger, nobody’s going to leave,” he predicted.
