OECD Business and Finance Outlook 2020
Sustainable and Resilient Finance
The OECD Business and Finance Outlook is an annual publication that presents unique
data and analysis on the trends, both positive and negative, that are shaping tomorrow’s
world of business, finance and investment. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted an
urgent need to consider resilience in finance, both in the financial system itself
and in the role played by capital and investors in making economic and social systems
more dynamic and able to withstand external shocks. Using analysis from a wide range
of perspectives, this year’s edition focuses on the environmental, social and governance
(ESG) factors that are rapidly becoming a part of mainstream finance. It evaluates
current ESG practices, and identifies priorities and actions to better align investments
with sustainable, long-term value – in particular, the need for more consistent, comparable
and available data on ESG performance.
