The growing membership of the OECD today accounts for 41.1% of global GDP. This powerful organisation is dedicated to stimulating economic growth and setting international standards. But what does the OECD do exactly? How has it dealt with past crises?
In this episode, Jan Eijking speaks to the OECD’s former Deputy Secretary-General (2014-19) Mari Kiviniemi, who previously was Prime Minister of Finland (2010-11). We spoke about Mari Kiviniemi’s experience working for the OECD, about aftershocks of the 2008 financial crisis, the effects of the 2015 European migrant crisis, and what lessons the organisation draws from the past.
