Cormann in final two for OECD leader race

Mathias Cormann is now in a two-way race to become next secretary-general of the OECD. (AAP)

Mathias Cormann is one of two final candidates in the international race to become the next secretary-general of the OECD.

The ex-federal finance minister's chances of taking the top job improved overnight on Monday following the withdrawal of Greece's candidate.

The successful candidate will succeed current secretary-general Angel Gurria for a five-year term beginning on June 1.
