First-ever Asian Roundtable of the OECD Network on Fiscal Relations in Seoul, Korea
The first-ever meeting of the KIPF-OECD Roundtable of the Network on Fiscal Relations in Asia (RoNFRA) took place on 18-19 December 2017 in Seoul, Korea. The theme of the workshop was “Making fiscal decentralization work for inclusive growth in Asia”, and it brought together experts and policymakers from across Asia, as well as elsewhere in the OECD.
