The OECD shapes policies that encourage investment, protect investors, and create a more favourable environment for businesses to thrive and contribute to economic growth and development. Through its groundbreaking research and publications as well as various instruments, including the OECD Declaration on International Investment and Multinational Enterprises, the OECD Policy Framework for Investment and the OECD Guidelines for Investment Policies relating to National Security, the OECD works to enhance the contribution of international investment to growth and sustainable development.
