The OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) is a forum and knowledge hub for data, analysis and best practices in public policy. We work with over 100 countries across the world to build stronger, fairer and cleaner societies – helping to shape better policies for better lives.

Data insights
Year-on-year headline inflation in the G7 area was broadly stable in December 2025
Year-on-year headline inflation in the G7 area as measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI) remained broadly stable at 2.4% in December 2025, compared with 2.5% in November. It declined by 0.8 percentage points (p.p.) in Japan, partly driven by the introduction of new subsidies for gasoline and diesel. Headline inflation also fell in Germany, by 0.5 p.p., but rose in Canada, where the increase largely stemmed from a temporary tax reduction in December 2024.
Headline inflation remained stable or broadly stable in the remaining G7 countries in December 2025. Year-on-year core inflation remained the main contributor to headline inflation in most G7 countries in December, except in Japan, where its contribution was broadly equal to that of food and energy combined.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a transformative technology capable of tasks that typically require human-like intelligence, such as understanding language, recognising patterns, and making decisions. AI holds the potential to address complex challenges from enhancing education and improving health care, to driving scientific innovation and climate action. But AI systems also pose risks to privacy, safety, security, and human autonomy. Effective governance is essential to ensure AI development and deployment are safe, secure and trustworthy, with policies and regulation that foster innovation and competition.Learn more

It works closely with member and partner countries, and other stakeholders (such as the United Nations and other multilateral entities) to help them implement their development commitments. It also invites developing country governments to take an active part in policy dialogue.Learn more

Despite progress in recent years, more work needs to be done across all OECD countries to secure gender equality, with women and girls still facing inappropriate disadvantages and barriers in most spheres of social and economic life. Gender equality must remain a priority, as a matter of basic human rights and long-term economic wellbeing and prosperity. It drives economic growth, strengthens democracy, enhances social cohesion and increases the well-being of all members of society.Learn more

Global value chains (GVCs) account for about 70% of international trade, as services, raw materials, parts, and components cross borders – often multiple times. As the trend toward cross-border supply chains increases, new challenges are emerging around sustainability, efficiency, and resilience. This growing complexity calls for policies that take a whole-of-chain approach to supply chain management and global trade.Learn more
