Abstract:

The OECD Economic Outlook analyses the major trends in the OECD area that will mark the next two years. It provides in-depth coverage of the economic policy measures each Member country should adopt for the years to come. Recent measures and forthcoming developments in selected non-OECD economies in East Asia; Central and Eastern Europe, particularly Russia; and South America are also evaluated in detail. In addition to the themes featured in every semi-annual edition, this issue 65 also addresses these important questions: --What are the policies that work to improve labour-market conditions? --How can climate change be dealt with most effectively? --What are the lessons of the recent episodes of capital flow instability? --What are the factors behind the widening of current account imbalances? --Is protectionism creeping back? What are the trends in market openness? In June 1998, the OECD launched a new online service to provide early access to the main projections and analyses of its Economic Outlook. With a special password, all subscribers can have access to the core of the Outlook via Internet more than one month before the book is published: www.oecd.org/publications/outlk_65. It includes a general assessment of the current macroeconomic situation, developments and projections for each Member country and certain non-member economies, and projections for key economic variables.
