Environmental Complaint a Roadblock to Brazil OECD Entry: Folha

The OECD’s environmental policy committee canceled a planned discussion next week about upgrading Brazil’s status in the group, the Folha de Sao Paulo newspaper reported, citing a document.

The move is a potential setback for President Jair Bolsonaro’s government, which has made entry into the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development a priority in order to increase confidence in the country and attract more investment.
