The OECD has frustrated the government | Postponed the entry of …

The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), which brings together the industrialized countries, has postponed the admission of Argentina and other nations to the club. "We have 36 member countries and everyone has to make their decisions – whatever the case may be, the process is not stalled," said agency secretary general Angel Gurría. The executive said that requests from Argentina and five other countries had not received the green light: Brazil, Peru, Romania, Bulgaria and Croatia. Neither Mauricio Macri nor Jair Bolsonaro reached the consensus that they wished to join in the OECD, despite the constant promarcaro signals and the important support that they both received from the Donald Trump government. .

Since its creation, Mauricio Macri's government has sought to become a member of the OECD as a concrete sign of the support of the developed world and an appreciation of the public policies pursued by its management. In April 2017, Finance Minister Nicolás Dujovne presented the "Argentina & OECD Action Plan" to US representatives in the United States. The liberal reforms implemented by the government were listed there – which partly contributed to the explosion of the crisis. "The OECD represents an opportunity for the improvement of Argentina's public policies and for a greater integration of the country on the world stage.For this reason, Argentina takes the necessary measures to strengthen its participation in this organization. ", said the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The OECD is not an agency that grants credits, funds or resources to finance investments, but offers a status.

"Something strange is happening in the countries of the OECD: everyone accepts the income of Argentina, but we are stuck because they do not approve the incomes of other countries Macri said at the end of last year. Now the body turned his back on him. Yesterday, it was known that the OECD had "postponed" the entry of six countries to the organization, including Argentina. "We have 36 member countries and everyone has to make decisions, sometimes you walk, sometimes trot and sometimes run, but the process is not blocked," said Angel Gurría.

The OECD was born in 1961 of a convention bringing together the following 20 countries: Canada, United States, United Kingdom, Denmark, Iceland, Norway, Turkey, Spain, Portugal, France, Ireland, Belgium, Germany, Greece, Sweden , Switzerland, Austria, the Netherlands and Luxembourg. The following year, Italy joined and Japan did the same in 1964. Finland (1969), Australia (1971) and New Zealand (1973) were then incorporated. 21 years later, Mexico, then the Czech Republic (1995), Hungary, Poland and South Korea (1996) joined. In 2000, he entered Slovakia. in 2010, Chile, Slovenia, Israel and Estonia. Latvia was formed in 2016 and in 2018, Lithuania and Colombia – whose final income has not yet materialized -. Now, with Argentina, they are still waiting for substitutes from Brazil, Peru, Romania, Bulgaria and Croatia. Argentina has been participating since 1997 in the investment committee of OECD with other non-member countries.
