CFIS 24 Background Paper on Panel: The Current Global Regulatory & Investment Environment: The OECD Countries’ Perspective on Economic Security

Prepared by Dominika Pietkun, CFIS 24 Programme Sherpa and PhD Candidate at the Institute of Legal Sciences of the Polish Academy of Sciences
The purpose of this Paper is to set the scene and provide the state of play and background information to the participants in Panel 1.

As the OECD countries confront unprecedented challenges from energy security to digital threats, are current policies robust enough to protect and advance their economic interests?

Amidst a rapidly changing global landscape, are the traditional economic security strategies of OECD nations becoming obsolete?

Are OECD nations truly aligned on economic security, or do national interests create insurmountable divergences?

With the global regulatory environment in flux, will OECD countries lead the charge for stability or be left scrambling in a sea of uncertainty?

Is the OECD truly equipped to tackle global economic security challenges, or does its focus on affluent nations limit its effectiveness in addressing issues faced by the wider world?
