Like many other countries around the world, the Netherlands is a member of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). As a leading export country, the Netherlands benefits from an open global economy, good investment opportunities, and international agreements against unfair competition in world trade. The OECD plays a major part in this.
The OECD also deals with social issues, such as education, health care and migration, and serves as a forum for exchanging ideas on economic and democratic values and human rights.
