In July 2023, Indonesia officially announced its interest in joining the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), an international organization established by the European nations in 1961. Approaching the end of 2023, a letter of intention from Indonesia has been submitted to the OECD Secretary-General and is currently waiting for formal proceedings of the steps forward by the OECD. Indonesia has been a key partner of the OECD and has worked closely together since 2007, along with Brazil, China, and South Africa. Should Indonesia join the OECD, it will be the third Asian country member after Japan and South Korea. Against this backdrop, Foreign Policy Community of Indonesia (FPCI) and the National Graduate Institute for Policy Studies (GRIPS) convened a virtual public discussion on “Indonesia and OECD Membership: Weighing the Political-Economic Implications.”
