Ukraine seeking membership in OECD with economic, anti-corruption roadmap

ISTANBUL

Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said Tuesday that Kyiv discussed two key documents with the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) he described as a roadmap toward full membership.

Shmyhal said in a statement that the Economic Survey of Ukraine and the Integrity and Anti-Corruption Review of Ukraine, prepared by the OECD, were presented during a meeting with OECD Secretary-General Mathias Cormann, Ukrainian government officials and parliamentarians.

“These documents will serve as a roadmap for the government, the private and public sectors and our partners,” he said.

Shmyhal reaffirmed Ukraine’s strategic goal of becoming a full OECD member and thanked the organization and member states for their continued support.

Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha described the talks as "substantive," emphasizing efforts to deepen the OECD-Ukraine partnership to rebuild the country and integrate into the European and global economies.

"I am grateful to the OECD for its consistent support and a clear condemnation of Russia’s war against Ukraine," he wrote on X.
