The OECD Economic Outlook is the OECD’s twice-yearly analysis of the major global economic trends and prospects for the next two years. Prepared by the OECD Economics Department, the Outlook puts forward a consistent set of projections for output, employment, government spending, prices and current balances based on a review of each member country and of the induced effect on each of them on international developments.
Coverage is provided for all OECD member countries as well as for selected non-member countries. Each issue includes a general assessment, and a chapter summarising developments and providing projections for each individual country. An extensive statistical annex with a wide variety of variables is available on-line.
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to cast a long shadow over the world’s economies but economic prospects have improved with the forthcoming global vaccines rollout, although divergences are increasing across and within countries.
This Interim Report provides updates for G20 country projections made in the December 2020 issue of the OECD Economic Outlook (Number 108).
