Shaping the OECD Covid-19 response agenda, sharing our members contributions
Business and governments alike share the goal of effectively fighting Covid-19. We designed this dedicated website as a tool to compare and leverage the Covid-19 policy guidance that we have developed with our global business network, and insights from OECD across policy areas.
We have also compiled the contributions and perspectives from our leading national business organizations. The selected PDFs should help our members and stakeholders share their experiences and ideas as we continue addressing the ongoing pandemic.
