The OECD Advisory Group on Privatisation (AGP) is an international forum for policy dialogue on privatisation issues. It was created in 1992 to help transition economies with their privatisation efforts. Since 1997, its scope of activity has been broadened to include to all emerging markets. The AGP has sought to promote effective privatisation policies through policy discussion, exchange of experience and dissemination of conclusions/ "best practices". The AGP meetings bring together senior privatisation officials from member and non-member countries, as well as academics and private sector experts who engage in frank and open discussion about various privatisation issues. The AGP activities have also made it possible for OECD member countries to establish a dialogue with a much broader spectrum of non-member countries that are gaining importance in the ongoing process of globalisation and trade/investment liberalisation. Every year the AGP meeting focuses on a selected issue related to privatisation.
Since 1995, the OECD Working Group on Privatisation and Governance of State-owned Assets (formerly OECD Privatisation Network) has guided the content of the work of the AGP.
