OECD Network of Parliamentary Budget Officials and Independent Fiscal Institutions (OECD PBO)

The first annual meeting of the OECD Network of Parliamentary Budget Officials and Independent Fiscal Institutions (the OECD PBO Network) took place in 2009, after the creation of this body. This Network brings together specialized professional staff from: independent fiscal institutions (parliamentary budget offices and fiscal councils); specialized in-house parliamentary budget research units; and parliamentary budget or finance committees.

The PBO meetings are attended by representatives from EU IFIs whose countries are members of the OECD. These meetings serve as a platform for exchange of best practices and expertise.
