Growth is expected to stabilise
Global growth is expected to stabilise over the projection period at 3.2% in both 2024 and 2025, broadly in line with the average pace observed through the first half of this year. Growth was robust in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada and Spain. Domestic demand has buoyed activity in Brazil, India, and Indonesia.
Improving competition-enhancing reforms could significantly raise GDP per capita and enhance living standards over the long term. The OECD’s Product Market Regulation indicators (PMRs) measure how well countries’ regulations foster competition, both across the whole economy and in specific sectors, clearly highlight the urgency for pro-competition reforms across both OECD member and selected non-member economies.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a transformative technology capable of tasks that typically require human-like intelligence, such as understanding language, recognising patterns, and making decisions. AI holds the potential to address complex challenges from enhancing education and improving health care, to driving scientific innovation and climate action. But AI systems also pose risks to privacy, safety, security, and human autonomy. Effective governance is essential to ensure AI development and deployment are safe, secure and trustworthy, with policies and regulation that foster innovation and competition.Learn more

About 70% of international trade involves global value chains (GVCs), as services, raw materials, parts, and components cross borders – often numerous times. A strong trend has emerged towards the international dispersion of value chain activities such as design, production, marketing, distribution, etc. This emergence of GVCs and increased interest in their sustainability and resilience requires analysing supply chains as a whole and developing policies around them.Learn more
