On March 15, 2021, the Council of the OECD composed of Ambassadors representing the 37 Member Countries, took the formal decision to appoint Mathias Cormann of Australia to become the sixth Secretary-General of the Organisation, for a 5 year-term beginning on June 1, 2021.
Member countries took this decision following the conclusion of the seven-month Selection Process led by the Dean of the Council, and chair of the Selection Committee, Ambassador Christopher Sharrock of the UK, that began in August 2020. Cormann will take up his duties on June 1, the day after Secretary-General Angel Gurria's final term concludes 15 years at the helm of the Organisation. This will coincide with the first of two sessions of the Annual OECD Ministerial Council Meeting to be held on May 31-June 1. See Announcement Comments are closed.
