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.

Economic growth is projected to edge down to 2.6% by 2020, mainly reflecting slowing private consumption as the boost from increased financial support for families passes, net immigration diminishes and housing wealth gains subside. Export growth is also set to decline once the current rebound from a dry spell is over. Inflation is projected to increase to slightly over 2% in 2019 and 2020, buoyed by higher import prices and domestic wage growth.
