Session by Gabriela Ramos, Chief of Staff, G20 Sherpa and Special Counsellor to the Secretary-General, OECD
Among the myriad challenges facing our economies, few pose greater obstacles to better economic performance than the productivity slowdown and the rise in inequalities. Are they influencing each other? OECD work on the productivity-inclusiveness nexus, presented at the 2016 OECD Ministerial Council Meeting, sets out what we know about the interactions between productivity and inclusiveness, identifies knowledge gaps, and charts win-win policies that boost productivity and tackle inequality.
Despite advances in business and technological transformations, we can no longer assume that they will automatically lead to better economic performance and stronger productivity growth. And there is no guarantee that the benefits of higher levels of growth, or higher levels of productivity in certain sectors, will be shared across the population as a whole. This session will explore how policy makers can adopt a broader, more inclusive approach to productivity growth – one that considers how to expand the productive assets of an economy by investing in individuals’ skills and providing an environment where enterprises have a fair chance to succeed, including in lagging regions, generating strong and sustainable growth and opportunities for all.
Session by Catherine Mann, Chief Economist, G20 Finance Deputy and Special Counsellor to the Secretary-General, OECD
The global economy remains in a low-growth trap with world GDP stuck in 2016 at around 3%, well-below the long-run average for the fifth consecutive year. Disappointing growth outcomes have led to weak consumption and investment, sustaining a vicious cycle of poor productivity improvements and further growth disappointments. Weak investment accounts for a large share of this poor productivity performance with capital spending in the OECD barely above the pre-crisis peak and well below the trajectory of past recoveries. Most strikingly, investment has not responded to the exceptionally low interest rates brought about by monetary policy.
Increases in investment are needed to push economies onto a higher growth path and this calls for decisive policy actions. During this presentation, OECD’s Chief Economist will share insights into how fiscal initiatives and structural reforms can lead to higher growth without compromising debt sustainability.

Session by Mario Pezzini, Director of OECD Development Centre and Director a.i., OECD Development Co-operation Directorate.
The growth of global value chains (GVCs) has increased the interconnectedness of economies. We understand that emerging economies in Southeast Asia play a pivotal role in the global economy. This session will provide you with the latest OECD analysis on the regional economy and on the key challenges it faces in light of regional integration.
International trade, which used to be a leading driver of economic growth, is now lagging behind, as world trade growth slowed down to around 2% in 2015. Two decades prior to the 2008 crisis, world trade growth annually registered at 7%. Many factors are at play – both cyclical and structural – but their effects are posing risks to the emerging and developing economies in Asia, where trade growth is currently relatively robust. Regional free trade agreements, notably the Trans-Pacific Partnership and the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership, will also influence trade in Asia, and will certainly have implications for the global value chains of specific industries, including in those countries not belonging to the new regional agreements. Strengthening regional ties by 2025 is one of Asia’s most important agendas. This can be made more effective by building on important and positive achievements through ASEAN, ASEAN+3 and ASEAN+6 and making greater efforts to improve co-ordination between regional and sub-regional initiatives and national agendas, reduce disparities in the region, move towards a “Global ASEAN” and strengthen monitoring capacity. Additionally, addressing issues of green growth, renewable energy and private sector development will be particularly important to Asia’s success in regional integration.

Session by Charlotte Petri Gornitzka, Chair, Development Assistance Committee, OECD
The world has come a long way: poverty is three times lower than in 1970 and economic prosperity is on the rise. But there is still much to be done, in particular in focussing on the lowest income countries, and ensuring that financing and international efforts are aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The system of Official Development Assistance (ODA) offers a consistent basis for donors to provide support and is a key part of the international development architecture, measuring the financial efforts of participating nations and working towards an overall aim of consistent contributions. The OECD collates the statistics and members’ activities are reviewed by their peers on a periodic basis, providing accountability and ensuring efforts are well placed.
In a world of ever constrained budgets, nations must continue to provide the finance to back up their commitments to delivering on the SDGs. But the financing must be sustainable and must seek to maximise the opportunities in both the public and private sectors. This presentation will focus on how the Development Assistance Committee and ODA systems are reforming to ensure they remain relevant and fit for purpose in this ever-changing development landscape.

Effective international rules and standards have proven to be beneficial for a sustainable world economy and shared well-being. International organisations play a key role in developing such rules and understanding how they operate and engage with stakeholders is important for ensuring their effectiveness.
To shed light on international standard setting, this presentation will illustrate recent OECD work collecting, comparing and assessing the practices of 50 international organisations on their governance arrangements, operational modalities, use of quality management disciplines and co-operation efforts. Looking at different types of organisations, our work identifies avenues for making their legal and policy instruments more effective, inclusive and relevant, in an effort to address the current discontent with globalisation arising from fragmented rules of the game. Recognising the challenges of monitoring and evaluating the implementation and impact of international standards and guidelines, transparency, flexibility, focus and co-operation are vital to ensuring complementarity.
Session by Andreas Schleicher, Director for Education and Skills and Special Advisor on Education Policy to the Secretary-General, OECD
The OECD Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) examines not just what students know in science, reading and mathematics, but what they can do with what they know. Results from PISA allow policy makers around the world to set policy targets against measurable goals achieved by other education systems, and learn from policies and practices applied elsewhere. Andreas Schleicher, Director for Education and Skills will present an overview of the PISA 2015 results for science and students’ attitudes towards learning science, including their expectations of working in science-related careers. The presentation will also examine how performance and equity have evolved across PISA-participating countries and economies, and provide insights on education policies that can help to foster improvements in equity and outcomes.

Session by Andrew Wyckoff, Director, Science, Technology and Innovation, OECD
Digitalisation has been underway for 50 years but crossed a critical threshold in last few years when over 80% of citizens in OECD countries had broadband subscriptions with the majority accessing the Internet via a smartphone. This era of ubiquitous computing is transformational, and the widespread deployment of this infrastructure means that products, activities and interactions are increasingly "digital" and can be easily shared, stored or exchanged globally via the Internet. As a consequence, data flows have grown and are a new raw material for innovation in industry and society, unleashing new business models and modes of social interaction. This transformation is just beginning and is poised to grow significantly as networked sensors and things become common-place. These changes are disruptive and also at odds with public policies – many of which are legacies of a pre-digital, analogue era. Reducing this gap and equipping policy-makers with ways to proactively seize the potential benefits and address the challenges related to digitalisation is at the core of a new cross-sectoral, multi-year project within the OECD.
These technological trends are not limited to one policy area, but their effects are particularly evident in the labour market, where they are profoundly affecting the nature of work, the structure and nature of the work environment, and the very nature of being an employee. We can’t predict exactly what the world of work will look like in the future or the specific types of jobs that will exist. What is clear, however, is that most sectors are already being affected. The platform (e.g. ‘sharing’, ‘gig’) economy offers workers great opportunities, including the flexibility of freelancing and holding multiple jobs (or gigs) to top up their income. At the same time, these new forms of work are challenging traditional institutions based on a unique employer-employee relationship. For instance, as new ways of organising work shift risk towards individual workers, who are increasingly in charge of their own training and of securing old-age and health insurance, existing models of social protection will need to be overhauled. How policy-makers, companies, employees and educators will adapt to these changes will mark the difference between being successful and being left behind.

This session discussed key findings from recent work on the use of taxes to tackle climate change, including a preview of the upcoming OECD publication, Taxing Energy Use 2018, which measures the magnitude and coverage of energy and carbon taxes in 42 OECD and G20 countries and provides a first appreciation of changes in energy and carbon taxes over time.
A key pillar of ensuring the integrity of the global financial system is to ensure that information is available to tax authorities’ to enable them to administer their domestic tax laws. The OECD’s work in this area is conducted through the Global Forum on Transparency and Exchange of Information for Tax Purposes.
The Global Forum is responsible for ensuring a rapid implementation of the standards of exchange of information on request (EOIR) and the automatic exchange of financial account information (AEOI). Importantly, each of these standards includes requirements to maintain beneficial ownership information. Mr. Housden and Mr. Auerbach will give an overview of the standards, the review processes that are in place and the results so far.
The Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) project also includes key actions that include exchange of information as well as the elimination of harmful tax practices and mutual agreement procedures to ensure that tax treaties are applied consistent with their intents and purposes. The Inclusive Framework on BEPS, which now counts more than 100 member jurisdictions, conducts peer reviews of the implementation of BEPS action items on exchange of tax rulings, country-by-country reporting, harmful preferential tax regimes and the efficiency of mutual agreement procedures. Also, an important tool for BEPS implementation is the BEPS Multilateral Instrument (MLI), which allows signatories to quickly update its treaties to conform with BEPS tax treaty related measures. Mr. Pross will provide an overview of the BEPS implementation phase and its results so far. Ms. Chatel and Mr. Evers will focus on the importance and impact of the MLI which has been signed by close to 70 jurisdictions and which is currently under ratification in many of them.

Teaching for truth – The role of education policy in public trust
Andreas Schleicher, Director for Education and Skills and Special Advisor on Education Policy to the Secretary-General, OECD
These days, virality seems privileged over quality in the distribution of news with truth and fact losing currency in decision making and democratic choices. Assertions which “feel right” but have no basis in fact seem to be accepted as valid on the grounds that they challenge elites and vested interests. Algorithms that sort us into groups of like-minded individuals create echo chambers that amplify our views, leave us uninformed of opposing arguments, and polarise our societies. Those algorithms are not a design flaw. They are the heart of why social media work.
In this context, what can countries do to foster trust, as a fundamental prerequisite for social and economic well-being, for enhancing social cohesion and strengthening resilience, and for maintaining security and order in our societies? OECD’s Survey of Adult Skills (PIAAC) shows that education strengthens the cognitive and analytical capacities needed to develop, maintain, and (perhaps) restore trust in both close relationships as well as in anonymous others. It does so both directly, through building and reinforcing literacy and numeracy in individuals, and indirectly, through facilitating habits and reinforcing behaviours such as reading and writing at home and at work. Education and trust are thus fundamentally intertwined and dependent on each other.
What’s the role of trade in inclusive growth?
Ken Ash, Director, Trade and Agriculture, OECD
Public scepticism about trade has grown in many countries, as one part of a wider backlash against globalisation. We need to acknowledge that frustration with ‘the system’ has its roots in some genuine problems. At the same time, we need to acknowledge that trade has helped to improve lives around the world. OECD analysis supports a much more integrated approach to policy making, moving each of us beyond our comfortable silos. Why does trade matter today - or does it - and how can trade contribute to more inclusive growth?
Investing in climate, investing in growth // World Energy Outlook – How can we meet climate, energy access and air quality goals?
Timur Guel, Senior Energy Analyst, Energy Demand Outlook Division, International Energy Agency
Energy is fundamental for the achievement of many of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Three of them are directly related to the production and use of energy: to ensure universal access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy services by 2030 (SDG 7); to substantially reduce the air pollution which causes deaths and illness (SDG 3.9); and to take effective action to combat climate change (SDG 13). The IEA’s new Sustainable Development Scenario, published for the first time in the IEA’s World Energy Outlook 2017, integrates all these goals at the same time with the objective to set out an energy sector pathway that leads to a cleaner and more inclusive energy future. This session will discuss some of the scenario’s main findings, and what they imply for the energy sector and for energy policymakers.
Budget transparency brings many benefits for citizens and for society, but putting it into practice can sometimes appear as a daunting task.
This session will highlight the Budget Transparency Toolkit - developed by the OECD with the participation of the Global Initiative for Fiscal Transparency (GIFT) Network - and the practical steps that it provides for supporting openness, integrity and accountability in public financial management. Furthermore, it will shine a spotlight on the specific role that parliaments have in ensuring budget transparency, highlighting emerging good practices. It will be followed by a discussion on measuring budget transparency in parliaments.
While proposing and implementing the budget are the legal duty of the executive, strengthening the involvement and participation of citizens and civil society can increase responsiveness, efficiency, impact and trust. Heightened citizen engagement also reduces opportunities for corruption and strengthens the culture of open democracy.
This session will use country examples to identify the opportunities for participative approaches across the budget cycle and highlight some of the key challenges and questions for debate.
Integrating immigrants and their children is a major policy concern for many OECD countries. Immigrants represent a sizeable segment of our population: more than one in five persons in the OECD is either foreign-born or native-born with at least one immigrant parent - and this share is expected to grow further. Yet, the outcomes of immigrants lag behind those with native-born parents in all major areas of integration, including the labour market, education, and social inclusion. In addition, immigrants tend to gather in urban and capital city-regions: two-thirds of the foreign-born population in the OECD live in urban areas on average, while asylum seekers seem to be more evenly distributed. Tackling barriers to integration is essential to ensure social cohesion and the acceptance of further immigration by the host country population. Achieving it needs to adopt a territorial approach to take into account the variety of local situations and build appropriate coordination mechanisms with local governments, in charge of 40% of public spending and 60% of public investment on average in the OECD.
This session will draw on key lessons from the OECD’s work on integration and summarise the main challenges and good policy practices to support the lasting integration of immigrants and their children. It will provide parliamentarians with facts and evidence on integration outcomes, as well as a number of good practice policy approaches. It will focus on the specific integration challenges faced by persons who migrate for family reasons – the single most important motive for migration in OECD countries – and on good practices to manage integration at the local level.
The OECD is examining how the two global mega-trends of population ageing and rising inequalities have been developing and interacting, both within and across generations. This work, and specifically a new report “Preventing Ageing Unequally” (to be released on 18 October), will take a life-course perspective, showing how inequalities in education, health, employment and income interact, and can result in large lifetime disparities across different groups. This discussion will focus on a policy agenda for more inclusive ageing to prevent, mitigate and cope with inequalities and ensure a better retirement for all, with policies coordinated across family, education, employment, social ministries and agencies.
Digital transformation is under way, creating new opportunities and affecting organisations, jobs and lives in ways never seen before. Digital opportunities abound, but governments must ensure they are equally harnessed by all countries, firms and individuals. To navigate the digital transformation, governments need to review legacy frameworks, embracing digital innovation and mitigating potential social cost. They also must step up efforts to empower people with the skills needed to succeed in a digital world. A new sense of urgency to marshal digital development for productivity and more inclusive and sustainable prosperity has pushed digital issues high on national and global policy agendas. In this context, the OECD has started to undertake a large cross-cutting project focused on making the transformation work for growth and well-being.
This session explores key insights from the new OECD Digital Economy Outlook 2017, which provides a holistic overview of converging trends, policy developments and data on both the supply and demand sides of the digital economy, and illustrates how the digital transformation is affecting economies and societies.

how to sell pi coins in South Korea profitably.DOT TECH
Yes. You can sell your pi network coins in South Korea or any other country, by finding a verified pi merchant
What is a verified pi merchant?
Since pi network is not launched yet on any exchange, the only way you can sell pi coins is by selling to a verified pi merchant, and this is because pi network is not launched yet on any exchange and no pre-sale or ico offerings Is done on pi.
Since there is no pre-sale, the only way exchanges can get pi is by buying from miners. So a pi merchant facilitates these transactions by acting as a bridge for both transactions.
How can i find a pi vendor/merchant?
Well for those who haven't traded with a pi merchant or who don't already have one. I will leave the telegram id of my personal pi merchant who i trade pi with.

what is the future of Pi Network currency.DOT TECH
The future of the Pi cryptocurrency is uncertain, and its success will depend on several factors. Pi is a relatively new cryptocurrency that aims to be user-friendly and accessible to a wide audience. Here are a few key considerations for its future:
Message: @Pi_vendor_247 on telegram if u want to sell PI COINS.
1. Mainnet Launch: As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, Pi was still in the testnet phase. Its success will depend on a successful transition to a mainnet, where actual transactions can take place.
2. User Adoption: Pi's success will be closely tied to user adoption. The more users who join the network and actively participate, the stronger the ecosystem can become.
3. Utility and Use Cases: For a cryptocurrency to thrive, it must offer utility and practical use cases. The Pi team has talked about various applications, including peer-to-peer transactions, smart contracts, and more. The development and implementation of these features will be essential.
4. Regulatory Environment: The regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies is evolving globally. How Pi navigates and complies with regulations in various jurisdictions will significantly impact its future.
5. Technology Development: The Pi network must continue to develop and improve its technology, security, and scalability to compete with established cryptocurrencies.

As of my last update, Pi is still in the testing phase and is not tradable on any exchanges.
However, Pi Network has announced plans to launch its Testnet and Mainnet in the future, which may include listing Pi on exchanges.

1. THE PRODUCTIVITY -
INCLUSIVENESS NEXUS
GABRIELA RAMOS,
Special Counsellor to the OECD Secretary-
General, Chief of staff and Sherpa
5th OECD Parliamentary Days
Thursday 9th February 2017
2. • Productivity growth has declined since the 1990s
• Annualised growth of labour productivity (output per hour worked)
The Big Picture
Note: OECD, euro area, G20 and non-OECD are aggregated using GDP-PPP weights. OECD includes all OECD countries, and euro area
includes all euro area countries, in both cases except Estonia. G20 includes all G20 countries except South Africa. Non-OECD is
Argentina, Brazil, China, Colombia, India, Indonesia, Latvia, Lithuania, Russia and Saudi Arabia. Data for several countries begin between
1991 and 1995, not in 1990. Labour productivity for non-OECD countries is measured per worker, not per hour worked.

Notes: “Frontier firms” corresponds to the average labour productivity of the 100 globally most productive firms in each 2-digit sector in ORBIS. “Non-frontier firms” is the average of all other firms. “All firms” is
the sector total from the OECD STAN database. The average annual growth rate in labour productivity over the period 2001-2009 for each grouping of firms is shown in parentheses. The broad patterns
depicted in this figure are robust to: i) using different measures of productivity (e.g. MFP); ii) following a fixed group of frontier firms over time; and iii) excluding firms that are part of a multi-national group (i.e.
headquarters or subsidiaries) where profit-shifting activity may be relevant.

Gini coefficients are based on equivalised incomes for OECD countries, Colombia, Latvia and the Russian Federation and per capita incomes for other partner countries except India and Indonesia for which per
capita consumption was used. Mid-1980s data for Argentina and Mexico refer to 1986 and 1984 respectively. Mid1990s data for Mexico, Peru and Indonesia refer to 1994, 1997 and 1996 respectively. Mid
2000s data for Mexico, Chile and Russian Federation refer to 2004, 2006 and 2008.
