We are now into the fifth year of

off OECD Week 2013 in Paris culminating in the OECD’s annual ministerial
meeting, will focus on what is needed to put our economies back on track and
how to offer our societies a better future. Promoting inclusive growth,
rebuilding trust and fostering sustainability are the three cross-cutting
themes of OECD Forum 2013.For more information and to register, contact Marie-Therese Dos Reis (dosreis@biac.org) by May 10.
