Scale of members' contributions to the OECD's core budget - 2008

The OECD is funded by the member countries. National contributions to the annual budget are based on a formula related to the size of each member's economy. The size of the OECD budget as well as its programme of work are determined on a two-yearly basis by member countries represented in the OECD's governing Council. The budget for 2007 was EUR 341.8 million and the budget for 2008 is EUR 342.9 million.
