Measurement of environmentally sustainable productivity growth
Comparing available options and estimating trends for three OECD case study countries
Will be released on 20 July 2026
Author: OECD
Language: English
Number of pages: 79
This report reviews six indices of environmentally sustainable productivity growth (SPG) that integrate agricultural total factor productivity (TFP) growth and trends in four agri-environmental externalities at the national level. The findings reveal only minor differences across indices when environmental dimensions are assigned low weights, but these differences widen as weights increase. This variation reflects index-specific conditions under which SPG exceeds TFP. Some indices require externalities to grow more slowly than outputs or input (relative decoupling) while others require externalities to decrease (absolute decoupling). Three case studies (Mexico, The Netherlands and New Zealand), illustrate potential drivers of SPG. In Mexico, improved market access resulting from trade-agreements, alongside shifts in agricultural support appeared to be key factors. In the Netherlands, regulatory measures targeting ammonia, fertilisers and manure management contribute to positive SPG outcomes. In New Zealand, performance is associated with export-driven output growth, herd dynamics, and the adoption of new technologies.

Generative AI experimentation in government
Learning from emerging guidelines
Will be released on 20 July 2026
Author: OECD
Language: English
Number of pages: 68
Public servants are increasingly adopting generative artificial intelligence (GenAI), often without formal oversight. This paper addresses the widening gap between rapid, decentralised GenAI uptake and lagging public governance mechanisms. It focuses on structured experimentation as a critical pathway for governments to build capabilities, manage risks, and ensure responsible technology adoption before full-scale deployment. Drawing on a systematic review of official guidelines across 14 countries, academic literature, and case studies, the paper examines how jurisdictions translate high-level ethical principles into operational practice. The findings reveal that, while guidelines are widespread, they remain highly fragmented and uneven, leading to risk aversion or inconsistent practices. Furthermore, monitoring and evaluation are identified as critical weaknesses, with few governments systematically measuring performance, impact, or compliance. To bridge the gap between national strategies and daily public administration, the paper presents an evaluation framework across five core areas: performance, public value, feasibility, usability, and risk management.

Artificial intelligence and personal finance
Will be released on 21 July 2026
Author: OECD
Language: English
Number of pages: 42
Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming how consumers access and use financial information, education and advice for personal financial decision making. While consumers’ increasing use of AI tools and AI-generated content for personal finance brings opportunities in terms of accessibility, personalisation and decision making, it also increases risks related to bias, hallucinations, commercial influence, data privacy and exclusion, with uncertain benefits on long-term financial well-being. This policy paper provides policymakers and stakeholders with an overview of current trends, opportunities and risks in the use of AI in personal finance and in the design and delivery of financial education. It also proposes a set of financial literacy competencies to support the use of AI in personal financial decision making.

Financing Southeast Asia's Blue Economy
Development Assistance and Beyond
Will be released on 22 July 2026
Author: OECD
Language: English
Number of pages: 85
Southeast Asia’s development trajectory is closely intertwined with its blue economy – a diverse range of economic activities reliant on and non-market ecosystem services provided by the region’s rich coastal, marine, and freshwater resources. However, as highlighted in the ASEAN Blue Economy Framework, the overarching policy guiding Southeast Asia’s blue economy priorities, adequate and effective finance and investment are essential for the region to realise the potential of the blue economy for sustainable development. A key consideration is the need to move beyond excessive reliance on development assistance towards longer-term financing solutions, particularly in light of increasing pressures on international public finance. To support this shift and the implementation of the ASEAN Blue Economy Framework, this report assesses the current landscape of development assistance for the blue economy in Southeast Asia and examines the range of financial sources and instruments that can be leveraged to advance sustainable blue economy financing in the region.

New Data for Africa’s Changing Climate
Mapping Risks, Readiness and Policy Action
Will be released on 23 July 2026
Authors: OECD, International Bank for Reconstruction and Development, Global Green Growth Institute, The World Bank
Language: English
Number of pages: 72
The African continent is highly vulnerable to climate-related risks. At the same time, Africa contributes only 4% of global energy-related greenhouse gas emissions. Policymakers need foundational data on key climate indicators to point the way towards a low-carbon, climate-resilient path. Yet these data remain limited for most African countries.
This report aims to fill the gap in foundational data. First, it shows how African countries and cities are exposed to major climate-related hazards, such as extreme heat, while assessing adaptation readiness of countries. Second, it describes the climate mitigation policy landscape in African countries along with key policy trends. In doing so, it breaks new ground by building on novel datasets that use robust methodologies developed by the OECD, the OECD Sahel and West Africa Club (SWAC) and the World Bank, covering 28 African countries that jointly account for around 73% of African GHG emissions.

Private Finance Mobilisation Report 2026
Will be released on 28 July 2026
Author: OECD
Language: English
Number of pages: 66
As public budgets tighten and development needs grow, private finance mobilised through public resources has become a central pillar of sustainable development efforts. This report provides the most comprehensive and internationally comparable evidence to date on how mobilisation supports sustainable development outcomes.
Drawing on OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC) statistics, the report analyses recent trends in private finance mobilisation across regions, sectors, instruments and providers. It highlights where mobilisation has increased, where progress has stalled, and which markets and sectors continue to face persistent financing gaps. The analysis shows that while mobilisation volumes have grown over time, results remain concentrated in a limited number of instruments, providers and countries, raising important questions about scalability and effectiveness.
The report emphasises the importance of improving the quality, transparency and targeting of mobilisation efforts. It sheds light on which financial instruments tend to mobilise the most private capital, where risk-sharing remains insufficient, and how public resources can be used more strategically to crowd in private investment. The report is intended for policymakers, development finance institutions and partners seeking evidence-based insights to strengthen mobilisation approaches and ensure that scarce public resources deliver meaningful development impact.

A Conceptual Foundation for the Development of a Lifelong Learning Measurement Framework
Will be released on 28 July 2026
Author: OECD
Language: English
Number of pages: 105
This report proposes a conceptual framework for measuring lifelong learning (LLL) aimed at improving policy design and evaluation. Lifelong learning is understood as learning across the life course and diverse contexts. The report identifies key limitations in current data systems, including narrow age coverage, lack of longitudinal tracking, overemphasis on labour-market outcomes, and insufficient measurement of informal learning.
To address these gaps, the framework is structured around three interconnected pillars: demand, supply, and coordination. Demand captures learning needs at individual, organisational, and societal levels; supply maps opportunities across formal education, workplaces, welfare systems, and communities; and coordination focuses on mechanisms that align needs with provision. The framework also redefines learning by introducing a two-dimensional model based on formalisation and digitalisation, better capturing hybrid and emerging forms.
Finally, it outlines practical steps for implementation, including improved surveys, longitudinal data linkages, administrative data integration, skills passports, and advanced analytics to support more comprehensive and effective lifelong learning systems.
The report will be of interest to education policy makers, whether interested in formal education or adult learning, to statisticians as well as other education stakeholders.

OECD methodology to estimate SEEA Air Emission Accounts
An update
Will be released on 29 July 2026
Authors: Santaro Sakata, Roberto Astolfi, Bram Edens, Suyeon Hwang
Language: English
Number of pages: 64
This working paper updates the existing OECD methodology for estimating Air Emission Accounts (AEAs) to enhance their comprehensiveness and international comparability. The new methodology draws primarily on data from national greenhouse gas emission inventories, a range of auxiliary data sources including Physical Energy Flow Accounts, as well as OECD experimental estimates of emissions from air and maritime transport. It improves the quality and granularity of estimates by economic activity (A*64 industry breakdown), expands the geographical coverage to all OECD countries, and extends the temporal scope of the estimates (1990 to year t-2). It also widens the emission coverage to include international air and maritime transport in line with emission boundaries of the System of Environmental Economic Accounting (SEEA), and incorporates the territory–residence adjustments to comply with the SEEA Central Framework (SEEA-CF). These improvements complement ongoing international methodological efforts to refine AEA estimates, such as those developed by the IMF and Eurostat, by drawing more extensively on country-specific data and achieving closer alignment with the SEEA-CF.

Promoting the Development of the Semiconductor Ecosystem in Panama
Will be released on 30 July 2026 at 08:00 CET
Author: OECD
Language: English
Number of pages: 143
Panama is an open and services-oriented economy and a cornerstone of international trade, reflecting its privileged geographic position, excellence in transportation logistics and strong air and seaborne transportation infrastructure. As Panama seeks to position itself within the global semiconductor value chain, its regulatory framework provides important incentives for prospective foreign investors and it has been actively investing in initiatives to promote semiconductor-related talent, research and innovation. Continued investment in talent, reliable utilities infrastructure and the development of a local ecosystem of semiconductor suppliers and customers could help Panama capitalise on emerging opportunities to develop its ecosystem for semiconductors. This report examines opportunities and challenges for Panama’s ecosystem for semiconductors and provides recommendations to foster its development. Using both quantitative and qualitative analysis, as well as insights from a diverse group of stakeholders, the report offers policy recommendations across four key themes: co-ordinating and aligning incentives through the recently established Commission for Innovation in Microelectronics and Semiconductors, investing in skills and attracting talent to develop a semiconductor workforce, developing an ecosystem of local suppliers and customers for semiconductor firms, and ensuring reliable and sustainable utilities infrastructure.

Accelerating Infrastructure Permitting
From Streamlining to Structured Bargaining
Will be released on 31 July 2026
Author: OECD
Language: English
Number of pages: 102
Infrastructure is essential for economic growth, the climate transition and resilience. Yet, in many countries, infrastructure projects take years to move from planning to construction, with permitting processes often contributing to delays, higher costs and uncertainty. These challenges are becoming more pressing as governments seek to rapidly expand energy, transport and other strategic infrastructure.
This report examines how permitting systems affect the delivery of infrastructure projects and explores how governments can accelerate decision making while maintaining environmental and social safeguards. It looks at how countries are attempting to streamline permitting procedures and identifies emerging approaches to better manage competing interests and trade-offs during the project development process.
The report aims to support policymakers and practitioners working to deliver infrastructure more efficiently and predictably while maintaining trust and accountability in public decision making.

Tracking Progress in the Governance of Critical Risks
Will be released on 31 July 2026
Author: OECD
Language: English
Number of pages: 165
This report presents the second OECD overview of countries’ progress in governing critical risks over the period 2017–2023, based on the 2014 OECD Recommendation on the Governance of Critical Risks. Drawing on a cross-country survey of 34 countries, it examines how governments have strengthened their capacity to anticipate, prepare for, respond to, and learn from major shocks with national consequences.
The report shows that most countries have continued to make progress in implementing the Recommendation and have used it to shape new policy initiatives, revise national strategies, and adapt institutional arrangements. However, progress remains uneven across countries and across different aspects of risk governance. The COVID-19 pandemic, alongside other large-scale crises, severely tested national systems and highlighted persistent gaps in managing complex, fast-moving, and cross-border risks. Leading practices are found in countries where the rapidly evolving security context is reflected in country risk profiles and a whole-of-society approach to risk management incorporates actions to preserve social cohesion.

Government involvement in sustainability initiatives
An overview
Will be released on 31 July 2026
Author: OECD
Language: English
Number of pages: 1
Sustainability initiatives are an important tool in the mix of policy options to help companies meet responsible business conduct (RBC) expectations. As the landscape of initiatives grows in scale and complexity, governments are engaging with them in diverse ways, from participating in their governance and funding, to referencing them in policy guidance and using them in their own activities, like public procurement. This policy brief draws on the OECD Sustainability Initiative Dataset, a pilot database of over 1 000 sustainability initiatives, to map the different modes of government engagement. It finds that most initiatives operate independently of direct government involvement, and that governments frequently reference initiatives in non-binding policy. Regardless of the mode of their engagement, governments should seek to understand the credibility and fit-for-purpose nature of sustainability initiatives before endorsing, recognising or using them in their own decision making.

Progress Review of Peru's Water and Sanitation Services Regulator
Driving Performance
Will be released on 3 August 2026
Author: OECD
Language: English
Number of pages: 85
As “market referees”, regulators shape the effective delivery of essential services, but they need the right governance to perform well. The OECD Performance Assessment Framework for Economic Regulators (PAFER) helps regulators assess how they are organised and how they deliver on their mandate.
This Progress Review looks at Peru’s Water and Sanitation Services Regulator, Sunass, four years after its initial PAFER review in 2022. It examines the progress made since then and highlights a challenging context, including fragmentation in the sector and legislative reform reducing Sunass’s functions and powers. The review finds that, despite these challenges, Sunass has made good progress, including by introducing new digital tools, strengthening engagement and communication, and developing new regulatory approaches. The review also provides guidance for building on this progress.

OECD Secretary‑General Tax Report to G20 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors (G20 United States, August 2026)
Will be released on 31 August 2026 at 14:00 CET
Author: OECD
Language: English
Number of pages: 25
This report provides an update on the ongoing work exploring the role tax policy can play in supporting business dynamism and economic growth. Highlighting ongoing research by the OECD, the report explores how corporate income tax (CIT) policies can support business dynamism, examining the effects of tax rates, compliance costs, loss-offset provisions, financing frictions and competitive distortions, and provides an overview of how tax policy can support a more dynamic and competitive business environment. It links the work on CIT and dynamism to ongoing work exploring how dynamism can be supported by non-tax factors, and how CIT can support growth more generally. It was prepared by the OECD ahead of the Second G20 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors' Meeting under the United States G20 Presidency, held 31 August – 1 September 2026 in Asheville, North Carolina, United States.

Enhancing the Resilience of EU Medical Supply Chains through International Co‑operation and New Technologies
Will be released on 1 September 2026
Author: OECD
Language: English
Number of pages: 250
Shortages of medical products have become more frequent and more protracted over the past decade, driven by structural supply chain vulnerabilities, increasing global interdependencies and the concentration of manufacturing of key inputs. At the same time, governments need to prepare for potential future emergencies. Yet policymakers lack timely and comprehensive information on where critical medical inputs are produced, how supply networks are organised across borders, or where bottlenecks may emerge.
This report strengthens the evidence base on supply chain vulnerabilities for selected medical products relevant to public health emergencies. It maps the supply chains of three critical products (injectable systemic corticosteroids, seasonal influenza vaccines and influenza RT-PCR diagnostic tests), examining market structures, demand patterns, and upstream and downstream production. The analysis highlights data limitations, market structure, and dependency issues that affect the resilience of medical supply chains for critical medical products.
The report also explores how international co-operation initiatives and improved supply chain monitoring could support more secure supply of medical products, with a particular focus on the European Union.

Net‑Zero Commitments and Prudential Risks in the Dutch Financial Sector
Will be released on 2 September 2026
Author: OECD
Language: English
Number of pages: 77
Net-zero commitments by financial institutions may create legal and reputational risks when stated targets are not matched by credible progress. This report presents a monitoring framework for assessing risks related to financial institutions’ net-zero commitments. The framework includes quantitative and qualitative assessments focused on governance and risk-management practices. It analyses public disclosures by Dutch and other European financial institutions, considers supervisory data available to De Nederlandsche Bank, and identifies comparability and data-quality challenges that may hinder risk assessment.
The report explores how sector-level physical emissions-intensity metrics can provide a suitable basis for assessing alignment with net-zero commitments, and thereby legal and reputational risks. It also identifies opportunities to improve reporting in a cost-effective manner and deprioritise disclosures that may be costly but have limited relevance for assessing potentially material risks.

Managing Risk Across State‑Owned Enterprises
Will be released on 15 September 2026
Author: OECD
Language: English
Number of pages: 86
State ownership can entail risks both at the enterprise and portfolio levels. This report explores how governments can move beyond fragmented, enterprise-level approaches to build a consolidated understanding of risks across their state-owned enterprise (SOE) portfolios and inform strategic portfolio management. It examines relevant risks affecting SOE portfolios, including financial, operational, sustainability, and corruption and integrity-related risks, as well their potential interlinkages. The report also considers how risk management can be integrated into ownership steering, oversight and performance monitoring moving beyond a narrow compliance exercise. Building on international standards and selected case studies, it outlines the key elements for the design and implementation of portfolio level risk management frameworks that can be adapted to different institutional settings and ownership models.

SME Policy Index for Western Balkans and Türkiye 2026 – Economy Profile for Türkiye
Will be released on 22 September 2026 at 09:00 CET
Author: OECD
Language: English
Number of pages: 218
Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) underpin the economies of the Western Balkans and Türkiye, accounting for the majority of employment and value added. Their competitiveness and resilience are therefore central to sustainable growth and economic convergence with the European Union.
Yet SMEs operate in an increasingly demanding environment shaped by global uncertainty, the digital and green transitions, and demographic change. While these shifts create opportunities, they also expose persistent weaknesses—including fragmented policy frameworks, limited greening, uneven digital adoption and skills gaps—that constrain firm-level resilience and adaptability. Addressing these challenges requires policies that not only support growth, but strengthen enterprises’ capacity to anticipate shocks, adapt to changing market conditions and sustain performance over time.
The seventh edition of the SME Policy Index for the Western Balkans and Türkiye provides a comprehensive assessment of SME policy progress since 2022, based on the OECD’s established methodology and aligned with OECD and EU good practices. It identifies achievements, remaining gaps and actionable recommendations to strengthen policy effectiveness.
This economy profile assesses performance across 13 policy dimensions and examine progress through four thematic policy clusters. A companion regional profile synthesises shared trends, common challenges and cross-cutting priorities across the seven participating economies.

The Lobito Corridor links Angola, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Zambia to global markets through the Atlantic port of Lobito. Built on modernised rail infrastructure, it aims to improve trade efficiency, diversify export routes and strengthen regional integration. Taking advantage of the increasing demand for critical minerals, the corridor could reinforce the region’s role in global supply chains while supporting broader trade, investment and economic diversification.
This report assesses how increased mining and transport activity along the corridor can translate into durable economic growth. It analyses how rail and logistics integration may shape freight demand and corridor performance to 2050, and identifies risks which may alter the overall contribution of the corridor to local economies (spanning base erosion and profit shifting in mineral supply chains, adverse impacts derived from the construction and operation of the corridor, and risks in the mineral supply chains).
Bringing together tax, transport and responsible business conduct perspectives, the report identifies the conditions needed to secure fair revenues, strengthen supply chain resilience and convert infrastructure investment into long term, inclusive growth"
