Korea and the OECD 25 years and beyond

Korea’s stellar rise as one of the most advanced economies in the world today is a story of resilience, adaptability and creativity. When it joined the OECD in 1996, it was already making its mark, having delivered remarkable rates of growth and development. It has since gone on to become a world leader in many fields, including in education, technology, and sustainability.

The past 25 years have underlined the value of openness and innovation. These values are at the heart of Korea’s culture – and are values that will sustain us as we work together to deliver better policies for better lives for the next 25 years and beyond.
