Context & Explainers
The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) is an intergovernmental group of mainly high‑income countries that provides economic research, policy analysis and recommendations to members. Portugal, as a member, often uses OECD reports to inform policy on complex issues like housing, taxation and public services, so its analysis can shape government responses to the housing crisis.
