Today, the OECD and Chile are working together more closely than ever. This co-operation extends to all spheres of public policies: education, health, employment, taxation, good governance, trade, the environment ... all those fields in which the OECD is a point of reference and where the Chilean government can count on us, within the important agenda of reforms that are being undertaken.

Chile is not immune to a reality that is affecting all its neighbours: a sharp decline in growth, in the wake of collapsing external demand. Given this context, it is now even more necessary to seize upon all those public policies that will allow us to return to the path of growth that is at the same time stronger, more inclusive, and more sustainable.

It is my great pleasure to be at today’s event, a key part of the Institutional Investors and Long-term Investment project. Before presenting the OECD’s latest work in this area, and our high-level contributions to the G20, let me take a moment to explain why long-term investment is so fundamental to the pursuit of stronger, greener and fairer growth.

Thanks to your leadership “fair play” will become the name of the game in international tax policies. With the set of agreed measures, the location of the profits of multinationals and where they pay their taxes will be the same as the location of the activities generating these profits, with the aim of reversing revenue losses in the public coffers of up to a quarter trillion US dollars annually.

More than ever, having run out of room on monetary policy and having used up most of the existing room on fiscal policy, the G20 should go structural, go social and go green to deliver better policies for better lives.

We cannot think “growth” and then only, as an afterthought, care about inequalities. This doesn’t imply that the objective of engineering stronger growth and higher productivity has become secondary or peripheral. We need to think about growth and inclusiveness imperatives together, right from the start of the policymaking process, in their circularity and complementarity.

The OECD is committed to forging new pathways to secure a sustainable future for the planet and the world’s people. I commend Turkey for prioritising sustainable development across G20 workstreams in 2015 and look forward to continuing this important work under the Chinese Presidency in 2016.
