The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) is an 
international organization of 34 countries that accept the principles of representative 
democracy and the free market economy, which seeks to provide a platform to 
compare economic policies, solve common problems, and coordinate domestic and 
international policies. Most OECD members are economies with high GDP per capita 
and Human Development Index and are considered developed countries, with the 
exception of Mexico, Chile and Turkey.
This organization is an international forum that promotes public policies among the 
richest countries on the planet, that is, they have the highest Human Development 
Indexes (HDI). It assists in the development and economic expansion of member 
nations, providing actions that enable financial stability and strengthen the global 
economy.
It originated in 1948 as the Organization for Economic Cooperation (OECD), led by 
Robert Marjolin of France, to help manage the Marshall Plan for the reconstruction of 
Europe after World War II. Subsequently, its membership was extended to non-
European states. In 1961, the Convention on the Organization for Economic Co-
operation and Development reformed the OECD and gave rise to the Organization for 
Economic Co-operation and Development.
The OECD headquarters is located at the Château de la Muette in Paris, France.
History
The OECD was established on 30 September 1961, succeeding the Organization for 
European Economic Cooperation, established on 16 April 1948. It is also called the 
"Rich Group" because 31 of its 34 participating countries together produce more than 
half of all the world's wealth. Since June 1, 2006, the Secretary General has been the 
Mexican José Ángel Gurría Treviño.
