Economic Survey of Finland 2008: Setting tax policies that support the Nordic model

03-juin-2008

The 2008 Finland Country Survey argues that globalisation, including the increased mobility of jobs, will continue to put pressure on the Finnish tax base.  In order to address this, the Survey recommends that Finland change the mix of taxation, with a reduced burden on labour (especially highly-skilled labour) and an increased burden on immobile factors such as land.

Economic Survey of the Czech Republic 2008: Tackling labour and skill shortages

25-avr.-2008

The recent strong growth has resulted in labour shortages and so activation of remaining labour supply is desirable. The main reserves are among prime age women and older cohorts and there is further room for skill deepening through education policy.

Economic Survey of the Czech Republic 2008: Globalisation and the Czech economy: how should policy respond?

25-avr.-2008

Globalisation is having a big influence on the Czech economy, primarily because a favourable location and low labour costs have made the country an attractive location for international manufacturing plants. This raises several specific policy issues, most notably regarding industry support. 

Etude économique de la République Tchèque 2008

24-avr.-2008

La croissance s’est nettement accélérée ces dernières années, s’appuyant en grande partie sur les exportations manufacturières. Cependant, des réformes structurelles sont nécessaires pour assurer la viabilité des finances publiques face au vieillissement de la population et pour éviter un goulot d’étranglement dans le marché du travail limitant la croissance.

16-avr.-2008

L’activité économique ralentit. A court terme, la compétitivité doit être améliorée. De meilleures infrastructures et des réformes de la réglementation des marchés de produits et du travail contribueraient à maintenir une croissance forte à moyen terme.

Economic survey of Ireland 2008: The housing market cycle has turned

16-avr.-2008

After many years of sustained growth, the housing market has slowed: house prices are falling and there has been a sharp reduction in the number of new homes being built. The exceptional rise in property values in recent years was largely driven by higher income and demographics, but did appear to overshoot the sustainable level. House prices may ease further and could even fall below their long-run value. Residential investment is experiencing a sharp slowdown. This will have some effect on wider economic activity.

Economic survey of Ireland 2008: Financial stability: banking on prudence

16-avr.-2008

Lending has been strong, with debt ratios reaching very high levels. The Central Bank and Financial Services Authority of Ireland (CBFSAI) had clearly identified the major vulnerabilities and taken action to mitigate them. The Irish banks are well-capitalised and profitable, which provides a cushion to weather the more difficult times ahead. This chapter reviews financial market developments, the actions by the CBFSAI and the new policy issues that have come to the fore with the financial market turmoil.

Economic survey of Ireland 2008: Adapting government spending to lower revenue growth

16-avr.-2008

Softening economic growth and the slowdown in the housing market mark a turning point for fiscal policy. Strong revenue growth in earlier years financed a sustained expansion of government spending and some cuts in tax rates, while still allowing the government to run a substantial fiscal surplus. This left the public finances in a healthy state with net government debt declining to a very low level. But this benign picture is changing as growth slows and tax receipts increase more slowly. Public spending growth needs to slow.
