The invention relates to process for the preparation of an olefinic product comprising ethylene and/or propylene from an oxygenate, the process comprising the following steps: a) an oxygenate conversion step wherein a gaseous effluent comprising olefins and a water-soluble oxygenate is obtained; b) separation of water from the effluent; c) compression of the effluent; d) acid gas removal from the compressed gaseous effluent obtained in step c), wherein the compressed gaseous effluent is treated with a caustic solution in a caustic tower; and e) separating the olefinic product from the gaseous effluent treated in step d), wherein, in a final stage in the caustic tower, water-depleted compressed gaseous effluent is treated with a water stream that is essentially free of water-soluble oxygenate and a spent water stream comprising caustic and water-soluble oxygenate is obtained, which spent water stream is withdrawn from the process.
