Likewise, it counted with the participation of experts from international organizations such as OECD, regional organizations such as ECLAC, UNASUR, COSEFIN and representatives of civil society such as Tax Justice Network, OXFAM, among others.

Before the end of the meeting, working groups formed by the delegates of the tax administrations and ministries of finance present were created, with the aim of defining regional conclusions on the topics of the discussions.
