Fg, OECD deepen ties to drive economic reforms, attract investment opportunities<\/p>\n

\n

The Federal Government has expressed commitment to deepening its economic ties with the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) with a view to harmonising data systems in order to support reforms, attract investment, and create opportunities for the country\u2019s youth.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The Honourable Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Mr. Wale Edun, disclosed this today in his office in Abuja when a delegation from OECD, led by Carlos Conde, Head of the Middle East and Africa Division, paid him a courtesy visit to strengthen economic cooperation and explore strategic partnerships.<\/p>\n

According to a statement issued by the Ministry’s Director, Information and Public Relations, discussions focused on Nigeria\u2019s economic priorities, including capital market development, regional integration, curbing illicit financial flows, sustainable finance, and investment in human capital. The OECD highlighted its growing engagement in Africa through collaboration with the African Union, regional blocs, and direct country-level support. Nigeria was identified as a key partner in West Africa. It also outlined its range of engagements, which include technical support in areas such as digitalisation, governance, and statistics.<\/p>\n

HM Edun applauded the collaborative effort and underscored the importance of harmonising data systems to drive reforms, stimulate investment, and unlock opportunities for the nation’s young people<\/p>\n

The collaboration between Nigeria and the OECD is among others, expected to drive economic reforms, attract investment opportunities, and contribute to Nigeria’s sustainable development.
\nThrough this partnership, the country aims to improve its business environment, increase access to finance for small and medium-sized enterprises, as well as enhance its competitiveness in the global economy.<\/p>\n

By working together, Nigeria and the OECD can unlock new opportunities for economic growth, job creation, and poverty reduction, thus improving the lives of Nigerian citizens in the long run<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
