July 5 (SeeNews) - Bulgaria aims to deepen its cooperation with the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and has drafted an action plan as part of its efforts, the international organisation said on Friday.
Bulgaria's action plan addresses 21 policy areas which are of crucial importance for the key reform priorities of the country, including economic policy, investment and financial affairs, the OECD said in a statement.
“The activities outlined in the Action Plan will give Bulgaria access to key information and recommendations to develop and strengthen its reform agenda in favour of strong, inclusive and sustainable growth,” OECD's general secretary Angel Gurria said during a meeting with Bulgaria's prime minister Boyko Borissov, as quoted in the statement.
OECD is willing to provide expertise and share its best practices in order to help Bulgaria advance its reforms agenda, Gurria added.
For this purpose, the organisation will conduct a number of policy reviews in several areas of the Bulgarian economy.
Bulgaria is not among the 36 members of the OECD, although it expressed its wish to become a member for the first time in 1992.
