Global Forum on Productivity

The GFP is guided by its Steering Group, whose members fund the activities and decide the programme of work of the Forum, as well as the allocation of available funds among three main activities: research, convening and communication. In addition to determining the work agenda of the GFP Secretariat at OECD, contributors have the possibility to engage in joint research and policy analysis. They can also co-organise and host GFP events to catalyse the public debate about the importance of productivity growth in their country and to raise the international and domestic visibility of their respective institutions. These events also provide an opportunity to network with high-level academics at the forefront of productivity research as well as with officials from other countries. Finally, GFP contributors have access to a password-protected interactive platform to facilitate information-sharing among them.

The GFP brings together the national and supra-national efforts mentioned above so as to leverage country-specific experiences to the long-term benefit of other countries. It is a practical, interactive tool that helps to promote the international co-operation on analysis; allows for a mutual exchange of information and data; and facilitates the sharing of experiences and policy developments. In so doing, the GFP can help those inside or outside governments seeking answers to three questions:

• What factors can explain the productivity slowdown?
• What can countries do to improve future prospects for productivity growth and innovation?
• What can countries do to improve the design of institutions seeking to promote higher productivity and inclusiveness?
