CONFIDENTIAL
dialogue with the Organization for Economic
Co-operation and Development (OECD)
Hong Kong attended an informal seminar between the OECD and four Asian economies (namely, Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, Korea) held in January 1989. Participation in the seminar was tripartite, i.e. Government, academic and business
representatives.
Further
dialogue between the OECD and some of the Asian economies will continue. The question of inviting these Asian economies to join the OECD might arise as the dialogue
progresses. Hong Kong has then to examine the pros and cons of OECD membership seriously.
Hong Kong attended all four workshops held during February-April 1990 on investment and technology, financial markets, macroeconomic linkage and trade. Hong Kong has indicated interest in taking part in further informal dialogue.
