2018 has been a momentous year for Colombia. Five years after opening official accession talks, it successfully completed its accession process to the OECD and was invited by the Council to become one of our members last May. As you know, Colombia will become the 37th Member of the Organisation following the deposit of its instrument of accession to the OECD Convention, which we hope will happen very soon.

Sustainable economic and social development are central to peace, and to the prosperity of current and future generations. The landmark UN agreements on the 2030 Agenda and its Sustainable Development Goals, and the Paris Climate Agreement provide us with aspirational frameworks to work towards these goals, but we still have a long way to go to deliver on the promise of leaving no one behind.

The rising tide of protectionist measures, which we are witnessing, is harmful and costly. Recent OECD data has estimated that each dollar of new tariffs costs global households 40 cents, while each dollar of tariff reduction adds 90 cents to global household incomes.

Inequalities of income, wealth and opportunity continue to divide our societies and fuel political uncertainty and turbulence. In the OECD, the income gap between the top and the bottom deciles is now almost 10 times, up from 7 times in the 1980s. We have to reverse these trends with growth that is more inclusive, which empowers people and places that have been left behind.

What we will be focusing on today is precisely how we can design the policies which will lead to inclusion and ensure that everyone – families, farmers and businesses – reaps the benefits of Africa’s integration.

Quality infrastructure underpins virtually every policy area. It forms the links that bind our interconnected economies and societies together, enabling goods, services, energy, data, communications and people to move easily. Connecting Africa through world-class infrastructure is critical for its growth, its development, its intraregional integration and its integration into the world.
