On June 24, the OECD Secretary-General Angel Gurría launched the OECD Business and Finance Outlook at a high-level roundtable in Paris on 24 June 2015. This report looks at the way in which companies, banks, institutional investors and shadow banking intermediaries are operating in the low growth and low interest rate environment and the build-up of risks in the financial ‌‌system.

It was followed by the OECD Insurance and Private Pension Committee, which discussed various key issues, such as governance, risk management, long-term investment, disaster risk reductions, etc.
