Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development – OECD

'''Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development – OECD '''

definition          An organization that coordinates policy among developed countries. OECD member countries exchange economic data and create unified policies to maximize their countries' economic growth and help nonmember countries develop more rapidly. The OECD arose from the Organisation for European Economic Cooperation (OEEC), which was created in 1948 to administer the Marshall Plan in Europe. In 1960, when the Marshall Plan was completed, Canada, Spain, and the United States joined OEEC members to form the OECD.
