Critical work remains ahead despite the world's emergence from the depths of the global economic crisis, Turkish Deputy Prime Minister Ali Babacan has said at an economic gathering in Washington.

Greece has the highest tax wedges (43.4 percent) for one-earner families with two children at the average wage among the 34 countries of the OECD, a new report by the Paris-based organization shows.

The average for OECD countries is 26.9 percent, ?Taxing Wages 2015? said.

Turkish Deputy Prime Minister Ali Babacan will visit the United States to attend a series of international meetings, including the G-20 meetings, between April 15 and 21.
