Countries are working hard to keep the global recovery on track, yet many risks remain as countries emerge facing different challenges, and varying vaccination rates. Drawing on international OECD data, the Economic Outlook analyzes trends in the global economic recovery on a country by country level. In the U.S., demand for some goods and housing prices have surged, pushing up inflation. This is being compounded by tensions in supply chains, higher shipping and commodity prices, and labor shortages caused by the phenomenon known as the “Great Resignation”, causing a slowdown in growth during the third quarter of 2021. Building back better will mean making structural and systemic changes to tackle pre-existing weaknesses, as well as those arising from the pandemic. How should policymakers confront these challenges to ensure economic resilience and sustainability; boost productivity; and help people achieve a just and inclusive recovery?

On December 2, join OECD iLibrary and ACRL/Choice for a presentation of the latest economic outlook for the U.S. and major economies. The session will also discuss the economic policies needed for the economic recovery, both in the U.S. and throughout the OECD.
