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

GDP growth is projected to ease gradually as external demand momentum weakens and labour supply constraints bite. Investment will remain robust, albeit below current rates, supported by high capacity utilisation and the implementation of EU-funded projects. Strong wage growth, especially in the service sector, will support consumption but also put pressure on inflation. Informality contributes to inequalities.
