20 years of #Aid4Trade. What’s next?
On 29 Oct, global leaders will reflect on its impact, evolving trade & development needs & how partnerships can help developing economies realize their trade potential. The joint WTO-@OECD report will be launched.

Under 10% of social spending goes to families with children, with 1 in 8 children across the OECD living in income poverty.
Our new report shows spending better beats spending more:
+50% poverty-reducing impact from one extra % of investment in early childhood education.

Our Interim Economic Outlook is out. Its title: Weathering Successive Shocks.
The global economy has absorbed the energy shock from the conflict in the Middle East better than expected, but it remains exposed.
Global growth: 2.9% in 2026, 3.0% in 2027, after 3.4% in 2025. 🧵
Our task is twofold: stay resilient – and grow faster.
That takes credible fiscal plans, anchored inflation expectations, energy security, competitive markets and better skills.
Full report: oecd.org/economic-outlook
Energy support must be targeted and temporary.
Only about half of active support measures across 50 countries are targeted. Untargeted support adds to public debt and blunts the incentive to save energy.
Risks are firmly on the downside.
If energy and food prices stay high and financial conditions tighten, our downside scenario takes 0.7 point off global growth in 2027 and adds 1.1 point to inflation.
Inflation is picking up again.
G20 inflation rises to 4.1% this year before easing to 3.6% in 2027. More than half of G20 countries are above target.
The global easing cycle is over: 1 in 3 central banks have raised rates in the past six months.
But the buffers are thinner now.
Oil inventories are down 507 million barrels since February. EU gas storage is at its lowest level for this time of year in more than 15 years.
And energy prices are rising again.
Energy markets adjusted quickly – on both sides.
Extra supply from outside the Gulf and inventory drawdowns filled about half the gap left by lost Gulf oil exports. Lower demand – led by China – did much of the rest.

Small productivity win in Dublin: three institutions, one selfie. 😉
The bigger questions for 🇪🇺, growth & competitiveness, don't fit into one frame quite as easily. Always good to talk them through with friends Christine @Lagarde and @MathiasCormann at informal #ECOFIN. 🇪🇺🇮🇪
Rada OECD určila Česko jako předsednickou zemi zasedání Rady OECD na ministerské úrovni (MCM) pro rok 2027.
Gratulujeme! 🇨🇿
Česko vstoupilo do OECD v prosinci 1995 a od té doby se stalo jednou z nejintegrovanějších a exportně orientovaných ekonomik ve střední Evropě.
Le Conseil de l’OCDE a désigné la Tchéquie pour présider la Réunion du Conseil de l’OCDE au niveau des Ministres de 2027.
Félicitations !
Membre depuis 1995, la 🇨🇿 est depuis devenue l’une des économies les + intégrées et les + tournées vers l’exportation d’Europe centrale.
I am very pleased to announce that the OECD Council has designated Czechia to chair our 2027 Ministerial Council Meeting.
Congratulations! 🇨🇿
Czechia joined the OECD in December 1995 and has since become one of the most integrated, export-driven economies in Central Europe.
Energy demand is growing fast. Nuclear energy can help meet rising needs and boost energy security.
At #RoadmapsToNewNuclear, co-hosted with the United States (@ENERGY) and the @OECD_NEA, the focus is delivery: investment, supply chains, skills and effective regulation.
Pleased to mark the renewal of the OECD–MOPAN partnership for 2027–30 with Amb. Andrew Wood of @UKOECD, representing the UK as 2026 MOPAN Chair, and @SuzSteensen, Head of the MOPAN Secretariat.
Together, we’re working for a more accountable, more effective multilateral system.

Ensemble, nous œuvrons pour un système multilatéral + responsible et + efficace.
