In collaboration with colleagues from the Responsible Business Conduct Centre #RBC and the Global Relations Directorate #GRC, we recently had an engaging session with the Government of Paraguay to discuss the benefits of adhering to the OECD Declaration on International Investment and Multinational Enterprises. Some key benefits are: ✅ Joining this important instrument covering 51 economies, reassures foreign investors that the country meets OECD standards on investment policy and Responsible Business Conduct. 🌐 Provides transparency in the investment regime for enhanced investor confidence. 📊 Allows Adherents to participate in global standard-setting activities as full members of the Investment Committee. While the webinar may have concluded, the dialogue continues! Stay tuned for more updates and opportunities to engage in shaping the world's investment landscape. Take a look at the recently revised declaration here: https://lnkd.in/eA7MiKrN Andrea Marín Odio Alexandre de Crombrugghe Germán Zarama Maria Xernou José Antonio Ardavín

🆕 Updates from the #OECDministerial Council Meeting ✔️ Revised Declaration on International Investment and Multinational Enterprises First adopted in 1976, the Declaration on International Investment and Multinational Enterprises is a policy commitment by adhering governments to provide an open and transparent environment for international investment and to encourage the positive contribution that multinational enterprises can make to economic and social progress. An update welcomed by the Ministerial Council aligns the Declaration with current challenges and goals. It promotes a whole-of-government approach while keeping markets open and encouraging investment policies that consider climate change, sustainability and inclusiveness. ✔️ A high-level approach to enhance and better integrate OECD work on infrastructure The gap between current levels of infrastructure investment and the level needed to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Paris Agreement is expected to grow to as much as USD 18 trillion by 2040. A new high-level approach to the OECD’s work on infrastructure is designed to support the mobilisation of financing and investment by offering policy guidance and frameworks to help government narrow the financing gap. https://lnkd.in/dvW-X9cx
