The OECD report provides relevant information worthy of review, including the following items:

  • 119 member jurisdictions have committed to the Transparency & Exchange of Information initiative (except for Lebanon),
  • Status of ongoing technical assistance and training objectives,
  • Competent Authority database is in place, containing information for over 70 jurisdictions,
  • Measurement techniques to determine effectiveness, and
  • Appendices listing various factors in providing exchange of information, including confidentiality provisions, rights and safeguards.

These notable efforts are ongoing, providing timely and informative information that should be shared.
