Twice a year, the OECD Economic Outlook analyses the major trends and examines the economic policies required to foster high and sustainable growth in member countries. This issue will cover the outlook to end-2009.

This issue contains a special chapter entitled The implications of supply-side uncertainties for economic policy, which addresses the following questions:

  • How deep is the impact of the recent oil and credit shocks on the productive potential of OECD economies? To what extent can structrual reforms help to soften it?
  • How should economic policies respond to the uncertainty created by these shocks?.
