OECD Breakfast Series: Developing Global Strategies for Combating Identity Theft

The OECD Washington Center regularly holds OECD Breakfast Series events to promote OECD work, and to give the Washington audience a chance to interact with OECD officials. 

The presentation on Developing Global Strategies for Combating Identity Theft will provide information on developments and trends, focusing in particular on the growing use of the Internet to conduct ID crime. Efforts to combat the theft will be described, as will policy guidance that was recently approved by the OECD's Committee on Consumer Policy. The discussants will provide further insights on how issues are affecting consumers in Canada and the United States.
