OECD On the Level Podcast

44% drop in global outward FDI in Q1 2018 - What it means

OECD's "On the Level" podcasts are dedicated to the quest for a “level playing field” for government, business and society. The strict definition of a level playing field is a market or industry in which all participants compete under the same conditions. But a level playing field also refers to conditions of basic fairness and equality of opportunity within our societies. Both interpretations have their place at On the Level.
