On Friday, November 22, the National Assembly Budget Office (NABO) held a working meeting with Mr. Jón R. Blöndal, Head of Budgeting and Public Expenditures Division at the OECD.

During the meeting, NABO and the OECD shared updates on their major projects and engaged in discussions about global public finance and economic outlook, with a specific focus on Korea. They also reviewed the schedule and topics for the 17th Annual Meeting of the OECD Working Party for Independent Fiscal Institutions (IFIs) and Parliamentary Budget Officials (PBOs), which NABO attends annually, as well as the schedule and agenda for next year's Asian Network of PBOs meeting, which is jointly organized by NABO and the OECD.

NABO’s Chief Chi expressed gratitude to Mr. Jón R. Blöndal for his significant contributions to exchanges and cooperation between NABO and the OECD. In response, Mr. Blöndal acknowledged NABO's co-chairmanship of the Asian Network of PBOs, praising its role in bridging OECD and non-OECD countries in the region, and expressed his enthusiasm for continued close collaboration with NABO in the future.
