Happy to host the #APEC lunch @OECD with our special guest SG @MathiasCormann. We are two months ahead from the #MCM2026 working very hard in our deliverables to Ministers.

Austria’s living standards are high thanks to deep integration into European and global markets, a skilled workforce and strong institutions. The right reforms to boost productivity and labour supply, will help drive stronger growth and resilience. 🗞️ oe.cd/6ox

Today I launched the Eco. Survey of Austria alongside Ministers Beate Meinl-Reisinger for European and International Affairs and Markus Marterbauer for Finance, as well as Finance State-Secretary Barbara Eibinger-Miedl.

Excellent meeting with @OECD Secretary-General @MathiasCormann following his talks with PM @IlieBolojan. 🇷🇴 is making steady progress towards membership, with 23 out of 25 committees already cleared. As Minister of Foreign Affairs, I reaffirmed our unwavering political support and @MAERomania’s key role in coordinating the final stages of the accession process. The 2026 Economic Survey launched today provides a clear roadmap for a more competitive and resilient Romania. Romania still has to obtain the formal opinions for trade and investments. We are ready to join the OECD family in 2026!

My visit was also an opportunity to meet with Romanian decision-makers in the context of Romania’s OECD accession process, following the excellent progress on reforms in response to the recommendations of OECD technical committees. Learn more: oe.cd/6oa

Today in Bucharest I launched the @OECD Eco. Survey of Romania with PM @Bolojan. Romania’s income and productivity are converging towards #OECD levels. However, the high budget deficit requires fiscal consolidation to ensure sustainable public finances. 🧵⤵️

Older workers, women and young people are underrepresented in the labour market. Improved preventative health care, childcare services and education can help integrate these groups better into the labour market.

Fiscal consolidation should be achieved by enhancing the efficiency of public spending and broadening the tax base. Inflation remains high; policy rate cuts should only resume once inflation is on a clear downward path.

Pleased to welcome today @MathiasCormann, Secretary-General of the @OECD, at Cotroceni Palace. We exchanged on Romania’s advanced stage of the OECD accession process, the key findings of the 2026 OECD Economic Survey for Romania and current international developments. This year’s edition of the Economic Survey provides valuable guidance for strengthening Romania’s economy and public policies. I thanked Secretary-General Cormann for his continued support for our strategic objective to join the Organization in 2026.

Pleased to welcome the OECD Secretary-General, @MathiasCormann, to Bucharest for the launch of the latest OECD Economic Survey of Romania. At a decisive moment in Romania’s accession process to the OECD, this visit is an opportunity to reaffirm our strong commitment to completing this journey. The extensive reforms undertaken across key sectors reflect our determination to meet OECD standards and contribute actively to a stronger, more resilient global economy. We look forward to continuing our close cooperation with the OECD as we move toward accession.
