OECD Brazil Country Programme

The country-specific programme for Brazil has been designed in consultation with the Brazilian authorities to provide various forums to address priority issues of mutual interest to Brazilian and OECD policy makers. Activities within the Brazil programme include work on competition policy, securities markets, insurance and pensions, statistics, budgeting, taxation, debt management, agriculture and corporate governance.

Key Outcomes

The 2005 Economic Survey of Brazil provides a comprehensive overview of the main economic challenges faced by Brazil including concrete recommendations aimed at further strengthening policy reform progress. A Peer Review of Brazil's Competition Law and Policy was presented at the Latin America Competition Forum in Madrid in July 2005 and a first study on Agricultural Policies in Brazil was published in October 2005. Statistical data on Brazil is available at OECD’s Statistics Directorate site for non-member economies.

Brazil's Participation in OECD Work

Brazil participates as observer in many OECD subsidiary bodies (ex.: Committees on Agriculture, Investment, Competition, Trade, Public Management) and is a full participant of the OECD Steel Committee, the PISA Governing Board and the OECD Development Centre. Brazil also plays an active role in the implementation of OECD’s regionally-focused activities in Latin America by hosting regional events such as the Latin America Forums on Anti-Corruption or Corporate Governance. Moreover, as an active participant of OECD’s Global Forums, Brazil hosted the 2005 OECD Global Forum on International Investment and the OECD Global Conference on Financing Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises in March 2006 in the framework of the Bologna Process.
