OECD Economic Outlook, Volume 2005 Issue 2

Twice a year, the OECD Economic Outlook analyses the major trends and examines the economic policies required to foster high and sustainable growth in member countries. Developments in major non-OECD economies are also evaluated. The present issue covers the outlook to end-2007. Together with a wide range of cross-country statistics, the Outlook provides a unique tool to keep abreast of world economic developments.  In addition to the themes featured regularly, this issue contains an analytical chapter addressing the recent run-up in house prices.

GDP growth is expected to continue in the 5½ to 6½ per cent range and employment growth is picking up. However, inflation risks are re-emerging and structural unemployment remains very high.

Both monetary and fiscal conditions will need to tighten over the projection horizon, in order to damp inflation risks, further reduce the fiscal deficit, and ensure that the plan to adopt the euro in January 2009 remains credible.
