Die OECD hält wenig von dem in Berlin diskutierten Tankrabatt. Ihre Experten raten, die knappen Mittel stattdessen für die Unterstützung ärmerer Haushalte zu verwenden.#Wirtschaft #OECD #Deutschland #Irankrieg2026 #ErneuerbareEnergien

Another thing worth considering is that when #NewZealand was the first #OECD member to sign a comprehensive free trade agreement with #China in 2008, the agreement allowed each country to trade with each other in their own respective currencies.

China is NZ's most valuable and biggest trading partner which means the dominant foreign currency earned by #Aotearoa NZ is the Chinese Yuan.

Why not pay for our country's oil using that same currency?

The Mutual Agreement Procedure (MAP) is a process by which a taxpayer can ask two states (or #tax authorities) to reach an amicable agreement to eliminate double taxation as required by bilateral treaties, where the normal processes have failed.

According to #OECD statistics, in 2016-2024 there were only 19 cases between Italy and #Finland, of which only 3 closed.

The OECD’s detailed peer-review system is key to global economic stability, and Japan’s strategic support can help preserve its institutional capacity amid rising geopolitical and policy pressures. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2026/02/24/world/oecd-matters-more-than-ever/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #marcorubio #us #donaldtrump #munichsecurityconference #nato #wto #oecd #g7 #g20 #globaleconomy
In a fragmented world, the OECD matters more than ever

In a global marketplace, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development remains essential.
