An Economic Survey is published every 1½-2 years for each OECD country and for some larger countries that are not members of the OECD, such as China, Russia and Brazil. It identifies the main economic challenges faced by the country and analyses policy options to meet them. You can find all Surveys catalogued by country. Bookmark this page: www.oecd.org/eco/surveys.
The publication Going for Growth takes stock of growth performance for each country and identifies ways to improve productivity and employment on the basis of international benchmarking.

There is also significant scope for policies to accelerate productivity growth in the service sector, which has lagged behind manufacturing. In addition, measures to reverse the rise in labour market dualism would be beneficial for both growth and equity.
