TRANSCRIPT
GLOBAL ECONOMIC OUTLOOKVéronique SALINS, ECO/MPD25 March 2019
• Growth is weakening, especially in Europe– Business sentiment is moderating– Tariffs and policy uncertainties are weighing on trade growth– Financial market conditions have improved– Labour markets have improved and support domestic demand but wages and
inflation remain surprisingly modest
• Downside risks are more prominent: vulnerabilities in China, Europe and financial markets could weaken growth further
• Weaker long term growth prospects call for more ambitious structural reform efforts
Summary
Global growth is slowing with further signs of decoupling

Real GDP growth has been revised down
OECD March 2019 Interim Economic Outlook ProjectionsYear-on-year, %. Arrows indicate the direction of revisions since November 2018.
Note: Difference in percentage points based on rounded figures. Dark red for downward revisions of 0.6 percentage points and more. Dark green and dark orange for, respectively, upward and downward revisions of 0.3 percentage points and more but less than 0.6 percentage points. Light green and light orange for, respectively, upward and downward revisions of less than 0.3 percentage points. The European Union is a full member of the G20, but the G20 aggregate only includes countries that are also members in their own right. 1. Fiscal years starting in April.
Financial market conditions have improved following recent declines in long-term bond yields

Impact of new tariffs imposed on US-China bilateral trade and higher uncertainty % change in level of GDP from baseline in 2021
Trade shock is bilateral tariffs of 25% on all US-China trade by the end of 2019. Additional uncertainty shock based on a 50bp rise in global investment risk premia for three years, slowly fading thereafter. OECD estimates using NiGEM model.

Simulated impact on NiGEM model of a two-year decline of 2 percentage points per annum in domestic demand growth in China and a rise of 50 basis points in investment risk premia in all economies. The blue bars show the contribution from the direct slowdown in trade; the green bars show the additional contribution from adding higher uncertainty. Commodity exporters include Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Indonesia, Russia, South Africa and other non-OECD oil-producing economies. East Asia includes Korea and the Dynamic Asian Economies.

Note: Based on OECD estimates of potential output growth for 46 economies (LHS chart) and consensus forecasts in April for 2001 to 2016, and October 2018 (RHS chart). The countries covered account for around 84% (LHS chart) and 88% (RHS chart) of global GDP in PPP terms. Source: OECD Economic Outlook 104 database; Consensus Economics; and OECD calculations.
