The global economy is facing mounting challenges amidst the largest energy market shock since the 1970s and the cost-of-living crisis for many households from rising inflation pressures. The OECD Economic Outlook, Volume 2022 Issue 2 highlights the unusually imbalanced and fragile outlook, the significant downside risks associated with energy market developments and rising financial vulnerabilities as interest rates are raised, and the associated policy challenges. Well-designed and timely policy actions are required to maintain economic stability, enhance energy security and strengthen the prospects for future growth.
This issue includes a general assessment of the macroeconomic situation, and a chapter summarising developments and providing projections for each individual country. Coverage is provided for all OECD members as well as for selected partner economies.

GDP is projected to grow by 0.6% in 2023 and 1.4% in 2024. Repercussions from Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine will further weaken foreign demand and thus slow trade and investment. Low consumer confidence will moderate consumption. Rising electricity prices and wages will keep headline inflation above the Swiss National Bank’s target range in 2023, before moderating in 2024. Disruptions to industrial production due to natural gas or electricity shortages and a stronger weakening of global demand are key downside risks to activity.
