Why did we lose Brexit? Why, because 60 per cent of youth didn't believe they needed to go and vote.
Quote by -Jose Angel Gurria
More dangerous than voting for change... is that people no longer vote because they have lost trust not only in governments but in democracy.
Quote by -Jose Angel Gurria
The idea that if governments open up and become more democratic they will fall is a false dilemma.
Quote by -Jose Angel Gurria
We need better measures of people's expectations and levels of satisfaction, of how they spend their time, of their relations with other people... We need to focus on stocks as much as on flows, and we need to broaden the range of assets that we consider important to sustain our well-being.
Quote by -Jose Angel Gurria
Uncertainty and fears of social decline and exclusion have reached the middle class in many societies.
Quote by -Jose Angel Gurria
It will be crucial the E.U. and the U.K. maintain the closest economic relationship possible.
Quote by -Jose Angel Gurria
Israel has been doing very well, but there are challenges the country faces, like poverty and social integration of the Orthodox, Arab, Beduin, and Ethiopian population, which will be essential for sustaining strong growth over time.
Quote by -Jose Angel Gurria
Israel should share its great wealth with its neighbors, like the Palestinians, in areas like governance and investment as well as the building of institutions.
Quote by -Jose Angel Gurria
We are totally schizophrenic. We are trying to reduce emissions, and we subsidize the consumption of fossil fuels.
Quote by -Jose Angel Gurria
We need to achieve zero emissions from fossil fuel sources by the second half of the century. That doesn't mean by 2050 exactly, but it means by that time we need to be pretty much on the way to achieving it.
Quote by -Jose Angel Gurria
Some challenges remain, but the bottom line is that low-carbon options can and should play a much greater role in energy supply.
Quote by -Jose Angel Gurria
Coal is the most carbon-intensive fuel available for electricity generation. The most urgent threat to climate policy is the scale of new investments in unabated coal-fired electricity generation still being planned.
Quote by -Jose Angel Gurria
Ensuring a better future for all South Africans will require increased access to higher education, a stronger and fairer labour market, deeper participation in regional markets, and a regulatory framework that fosters entrepreneurship and allows small businesses to thrive.
Quote by -Jose Angel Gurria
Japan's future prospects depend on ensuring fiscal sustainability over the long term.
Quote by -Jose Angel Gurria
One of the greatest challenges of democracies today is the question of financing campaigns. It's a tremendous challenge. Obviously I think the solution is to have the governments pay for all the campaigns and not to have any private contributions.
Quote by -Jose Angel Gurria
We are dealing with the greater challenges of globalisation. It is generating, in many cases, an increase in the levels of inequality in societies... that is undesirable.
Quote by -Jose Angel Gurria
If you are trying to favor the unions by having more rigid labor market and keeping wages very high, you could be blocking people from getting new jobs.
Quote by -Jose Angel Gurria
We cannot sustain long-term growth in our economies if we do not protect and preserve our environment.
Quote by -Jose Angel Gurria
Those who argue for Brexit are wrong, and that is because they have not been properly informed about the costs.
Quote by -Jose Angel Gurria
The U.K. is much stronger as a part of Europe, and Europe is much stronger with the U.K. as a driving force.
Quote by -Jose Angel Gurria
Reforms to product and labour markets, education, innovation, green growth, competition, taxes, health - they are the things that should be the object of our primary focus in the context of a long-term strategy to restore sustained growth.
Quote by -Jose Angel Gurria
The City of London is always going to be there and will continue to be important.
Quote by -Jose Angel Gurria
I have family who are British citizens and who want to be citizens of the world and citizens of the E.U.
Quote by -Jose Angel Gurria
I said a vote to leave would be a Brexit tax. I couldn't think of anything stronger than that.
Quote by -Jose Angel Gurria
Nobody in their right mind will even attempt or even think of leaving the European Union, because they will understand that it is not in their best interest.
Quote by -Jose Angel Gurria
The home is the planet. Unless you're a Martian, you know, we're sharing the planet. And - and the emissions don't stop and CO2 doesn't stop with the border between France, Spain or between Canada and the United States.
Quote by -Jose Angel Gurria
In the face of sluggish growth, aging societies, and increasing educational attainment of young women, the economic case for gender equality is clear.
Quote by -Jose Angel Gurria
Gender equality is essential for ensuring that men and women can contribute fully at home, at work, and in public life for the betterment of societies and economies at large.
Quote by -Jose Angel Gurria
There is no reason for women to trail behind men in social, economic, and political outcomes.
Quote by -Jose Angel Gurria
Every country faces its own obstacles to reaching gender equality, and to make a real difference, we must change public policies in tandem with stereotypes, attitudes, and behaviors.
Quote by -Jose Angel Gurria
If we can rid the world of financial centres that thrive on lack of transparency, non-cooperation, and weak regulation, an important step towards a fairer and cleaner world economy will have been achieved.
Quote by -Jose Angel Gurria
It isn't only rich countries that suffer from the effects of tax havens. Developing countries also lose billions of dollars in tax revenues due each year because wealthy individuals and some companies use tax havens to move assets and income offshore.
Quote by -Jose Angel Gurria
If we want a stronger, cleaner, and fairer world economy, we need to deal with the controversial areas of globalisation, such as tax havens.
Quote by -Jose Angel Gurria
If the world is to avoid a collision with nature - one that humanity surely cannot win - we must act boldly on every front, particularly with respect to carbon pricing and the coherence of our economic and energy policies.
