Who We Are?
The Israel Economic Mission to the OECD handles issues related to the economic fields such as industry, trade, investments, SMEs, innovation, etc.. We are part of the Israeli Permanent Delegation to the OECD which is composed of representatives from the Ministries of Foreign Affairs, Finance and Economy & Industry.
What We Do?
The Economic Division of the Delegation provides policy analysis and information to the headquarters at the Capital, based on the work of the OECD. Cooperating with other Member countries, the office ensures the decisions taken by the OECD reflect the priorities of the Government in general and the Ministry in particular.

Among the roles of the Economic Attaché at the OECD:
- Reporting from OECD’s committees and Working Parties
