Summary:Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner. The OECD Economic Outlook analyses the major economic trends over the coming 2 years. It provides in-depth coverage of the main economic issues and the policy measures required to foster growth in each member country.

Sources for the historical data are publications of national statistical agencies and OECD databases such as Quarterly National Accounts, Annual National Accounts, Labour Force Statistics and Main Economic Indicators. Concerning the aggregation of world trade, a new composition has been introduced, since projections are now made for selected non-OECD economies. Thus, besides OECD and the OECD Euro Area, the following new regions are available: Dynamic Asian Economies (Chinese Taipei, Hong Kong, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam); Oil Producers (Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Brunei, Timor-Leste, Bahrain, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Libya, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Yemen, Ecuador, Trinidad and Tobago, Venezuela, Algeria, Angola, Chad, Rep. of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Nigeria, Sudan); with the remaining countries in a residual 'Rest of the World' group.
