OECD Economic Outlook, Volume 2018 Issue 2
The OECD Economic Outlook is the OECD's twice-yearly analysis of the major economic trends and prospects for the next two years. The Outlook puts forward a consistent set of projections for output, employment, prices, fiscal and current account balances.
Coverage is provided for all OECD member countries as well as for selected non-member countries. This issue includes a general assessment, a special chapter on the implications for public policy of the decoupling of wages from productivity and a chapter summarising developments and providing projections for each individual country.
The Statistical Annex is available on-line only at https://dx.doi.org/10.1787/eco_outlook-v22018-2-en

The strong economic expansion is projected to slow gradually in the next two years. Private consumption will be supported by real-wage gains and record-high employment, while investment will be boosted by housing construction and corporate activity, as well as disbursements of EU structural funds, albeit at a slower rate. Tight labour market conditions will raise inflation, projected to reach 4% in 2019. As capacity constraints bite, demand is increasingly met by imports, and growth will gradually lose momentum.
