Live presentation on Wednesday 14 April 2021
The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed how existing structural weaknesses undermine the resilience of our economies. How governments respond to the crisis will shape the recovery and future well-being of people worldwide.
The OECD will present the 2021 edition of null on Wednesday 14 April 2021. It identifies how OECD and key non-member countries can build resilience and sustainability, raise productivity and help people and businesses adapt to the changes underway in our economies.
OECD Secretary-General Angel Gurría and Italian Minister of Economy and Finance Daniele Franco will present the report online at 10:30 CEST (08:30 GMT). The Going for Growth 2021 launch follows the 2nd meeting of G20 finance ministers and central bank governors under the Italian Presidency on 7 April, in which participants discussed ways to push forward the economic recovery and promote more sustainable growth.
The Going for Growth 2021 presentation will be webcast live, without registration.
Copies of Going for Growth 2021 will be available on the OECD's password-protected website from 10:30 CEST (08:30 GMT) on Wednesday 14 April 2021 for immediate release.
