The Non-Member Economies Division of the Economics Department carries out economic monitoring of countries outside the OECD.

In this context, the Non-Member Economies Division contributes to the semi-annual round of projections that are published in the OECD Economic Outlook . Analysis of non-member countries is used as a basis for projecting trade flows for Central and Eastern Europe, South America and Dynamic Asia.

These projections are then fed into the Department's model of world trade. In addition to a summary review of non-OECD regions, the Economic Outlook includes individual sections, and projections, on Brazil, China and Russia.
