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.

GDP growth is projected to moderate from around 2¾ per cent in 2018 to just above 2% by 2020, reflecting slowing private consumption and investment. Wage growth and inflation will increase steadily as a result of the tight labour market. The large current account surplus is projected to increase further.
