Governance: Governments must improve public sector productivity, says OECD


Boosting public sector productivity and maximising returns on investment in technology will be key to governments playing their part in restoring economic growth. These were among the conclusions reached by OECD ministers meeting in Venice on 15 November, under the leadership of Italian Minister Renato Brunetta responsible for public administration and innovation.

“Strong political commitment and leadership will be vital to reforming the public sector,” said Aart de Geus, OECD Deputy Secretary-General. “Ministers recognise the role they must play in delivering more effective public services.”
