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

Growth is strong and broad-based, but is projected to moderate to under 3½ per cent by 2020. Private consumption will be supported by a persistently strong labour market. Following a slump, investment rebounded strongly in 2017-18, as investors have drawn on EU structural funds, but growth in capital spending will ease to more sustainable levels in the coming two years.
