Press Release: OECD urges action on widening economic performance gaps in developed countries

One of the biggest challenges facing many OECD countries is to catch up with top performers that have moved strongly ahead in terms of growth over the past two decades, according to Economic Policy Reforms: Going for Growth, a new OECD review of structural impediments to growth. This publication is designed to help policy makers as they look for ways to achieve improved standards of living for citizens. It develops a benchmarking system based on a set of policy indicators and then proposes a number of policy priorities for each country that would help promote stronger economic growth.
