This Economic Survey was prepared by Margit Molnar under the supervision of Patrick Lenain. Damien Azzopardi provided research assistance. Karimatou Diallo, Stephanie Henry and Ilona Janus provided editorial support. The Survey benefitted from contributions by Janos Ferencz and Masashi Hamano. The thematic chapter builds to a large extent on the new OECD Product Market Regulation indicators, which were produced in the Policy Studies Branch of the OECD Economics Department by the team of Cristiana Vitale and this work was made possible by funding from the World Bank. The Survey benefitted from useful comments by Oliver Denk, Michele Cecchini, Bert Brys and Ruben Maximiano.
The Survey was discussed at a meeting of the Economic and Development Review Committee on 29-30 March 2021, with participation of representatives of the Chinese government. The cut-off date for data used in the Survey is 27 January 2022 and for analysis is end-February 2021. Due to the pandemic, the Survey was prepared without in-country physical missions. The previous Survey of China was issued in April 2019.
The Survey is published on the responsibility of the Secretary General of the OECD.
