The economy is powering ahead. At 5.2%, Irish GDP was the fastest growing in the OECD in 2014. This year we expect growth of around 5% again - which would likely see Ireland remain the fastest growing economy in the OECD two years running.

To help transform the OECD’s economic thinking and acting, we launched the New Approaches to Economic Challenges (NAEC) initiative in 2012. During three years of reflection, we took a hard look at our analytical methods, our data and policy advice.

The Asia-Pacific region is and will remain the engine of the world economy going forward – it accounts for 57% of global GDP, 46% of world trade and more than a third of the global population – and there is much to celebrate about APEC’s achievements in recent years. However, APEC economies are not immune from risk.

In particular, we can and must ensure that Goal 17 – Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalise the global partnership for development – is set in motion quickly.

In four weeks when we meet again in Lima, I will deliver the full package of 15 measures to address Base Erosion and Profit Shifting - BEPS.

The G20 commitment to raise GDP by 2% in 2018 through structural reform commitments was a masterstroke - this promised concrete measures to raise living standards and put the recovery on a higher growth path. Implementation is now key and has rightly been a priority under the Turkish Presidency.

I am very glad the G20 Turkish Presidency put inclusiveness as one of the three “I's" of the required collective action to foster the G20 inclusive and robust growth. Ringing the alarm bell on rising inequality is becoming, unfortunately, routine for us at the OECD.
