Description
OECD countries are operating in a challenging fiscal environment, marked by high debt levels and growing spending pressures linked to demographics, extreme weather events, defence needs and other commitments. Against this backdrop, this session will introduce the OECD’s new Fiscal Masterclass, a course designed to help elected members engage more confidently on fiscal topics in committees, in their interactions with the media and, ultimately, with their constituents.
