For entering the OECD, Brazil has to meet a few benchmarks including combating corruption, regulation, developing acquisition protocols, and transparency.
According to the Paulo Guedes, Brazil has fulfilled two-thirds of the requirements already to be accepted as a member of the OECD and should be entering the organisation within a year.
