OECD Ministerial Council Meeting 2025

Leading the Way Towards Resilient, Inclusive, and Sustainable Prosperity Through Rules-Based Trade, Investment and Innovation

Paris, 3-4 June 2025

The OECD 2025 Ministerial Council Meeting, chaired by Costa Rica, with Australia, Canada and Lithuania as Vice-Chairs, will take place on 3 and 4 June 2025 at OECD Headquarters in Paris.

In a challenging economic policy environment, trade, investment, and innovation will continue to be essential foundations for prosperity. International co-operation can work better for people if we optimise the ongoing structural transformations of our economies and societies - including the emergence of new digital technologies - to develop innovative and human-centred policies for better lives. The OECD is uniquely positioned to support this work. At the 2025 MCM, under the theme "Leading the Way Towards Resilient, Inclusive, and Sustainable Prosperity Through Rules-Based Trade, Investment and Innovation", OECD Members will engage in high-level discussions, including with non-Member partner countries, on priorities for international policy co-operation:

Resilience - Actively Reinforcing Open Markets and a Rules-Based International Trading System.
Inclusiveness - Leveraging the Digital Economy to Drive Growth for Shared Prosperity.
Sustainability - Building a Sustainable and Inclusive Economic Growth through Innovative Policies.

This year's MCM will feature discussions on strengthening regional co-operation and knowledge sharing, including through synergies between Regional Programmes and particularly in the Latin American and Caribbean region.
