Opening ceremony of the OECD Ministerial Council Meeting 2026
The OECD Secretary-General Mathias Cormann opened the 2026 #OECDministerial alongside this year’s Chair, Prime Minister of Finland Petteri Orpo, and Vice-Chairs Korea and New Zealand.
Global economic pressures, rising inflation and disrupted supply chains set the stage for the 2026 OECD Ministerial Council Meeting – where leaders confront how to get industrial policies right for open markets, growth and prosperity.
The OECD Ministerial Council Meeting 2026 brings together Prime Ministers, Ministers and delegates, where the OECD provides a platform for co-ordination, helping policymakers make informed choices on industrial strategy, partnerships and global co-operation.
