OECD May Include Turkmenistan in Trade and Transport Connectivity Project
The OECD is an intergovernmental economic organization founded in 1961 to stimulate economic progress and world trade.

The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) will likely include Turkmenistan in its future work on trade and transport connectivity, the Baku-based Trend news agency reported on Thursday with reference to Gregory Lecomte, Senior Policy Analyst in the Central Asia division of the Global Relations Secretariat of OECD.

Commenting on potential areas for future cooperation, Lecomte stressed that one other area that has potential seems to be sharing experience and good practices in sustainable infrastructure, as the OECD is initiating some work in this area in Central Asia.

The Senior Policy Analyst said one topic of particular interest to the Turkmen government relates to investment policy and promotion.

"Therefore we may look further at this particular area," Gregory Lecomte told Trend.

Going forward the OECD will continue working on business climate-related questions with Turkmenistan, according to the Senior Policy Analyst.

Lacomte said the most active areas of cooperation between Turkmenistan and the OECD pertain to business climate issues and post-Covid-19 recovery.

The OECD is an intergovernmental economic organization with 38 member countries, founded in 1961 to stimulate economic progress and world trade.
