OECD Economic Outlook, Interim Report March 2023
A Fragile Recovery
Short-term economic prospects have improved, helped by lower commodity prices and the reopening of China, with global growth set to pick up moderately and inflation declining gradually. However, downside risks predominate.
The Interim Report highlights that the recovery remains fragile, with key risks stemming from uncertainty about the war in Ukraine and energy market developments, and significant financial vulnerabilities. Well-designed policy measures are required to reduce inflation pressures, ensure better-targeting of fiscal policy support, and revive sustainable growth. The Interim Report is an update on the assessment in the November 2022 issue of the OECD Economic Outlook (Number 112).
