Real GDP growth revised down

Year-on-year, %. Arrows for 2018 and 2019 indicate the direction of revisions since September 2018.*

*The OECD Economic Outlook includes for the first time projections up to 2020. Note: Dark orange for downward revisions of 0.3 percentage points and more. Light green and light orange for, respectively, upward and downward revisions of less than 0.3 percentage point. Difference in percentage points based on rounded figures. The European Union is a full member of the G-20, but the G-20 aggregate only includes countries that are also members in their own right.

Widespread trade restrictions would disrupt value chains, hurting jobs

Note: The size of a bubble represents the share of world trade in value-added terms (exports plus imports of value added) of that country or economic area. The thickness of the lines between two bubbles measures the amount of bilateral value-added trade between two trading

  • partners. There are bilateral trade flows between all economies shown but those below approximately 0.2% of total world trade flows are not
  • shown. Dynamic Asia Economies (DAE) include Chinese Taipei; Hong Kong, China; Indonesia; Malaysia; the Philippines; Singapore; and
  • Thailand. Other emerging markets (OEM) include the remaining 129 countries in the world and account for around 10% of world trade.

Tariff hikes act as a brake

  • n GDP growth

Note: Current tariffs include all tariffs imposed on bilateral US-China trade in 2018 up to the end of September. The purple scenario shows the additional impact of the United States raising tariffs on $200 billion of imports from China from 10% to 25% from January 2019 (with reciprocal action by China on $60 billion of imports from the United States). The orange scenario shows the additional impact if tariffs of 25% are imposed on all remaining bilateral non-commodity trade between China and the United States from July 2019. The red scenario shows the additional impact of related uncertainty resulting in a rise of 50bp in investment risk premia in all countries in 2019-2021. Source: OECD calculations.

The non-tariff measure estimate includes sanitary and phytosanitary measures, technical barriers to trade, border control measures, and quantitative restrictions. The European Union excludes intra-EU trade. NTMs can have both positive and negative effects on trade and it is not practical to expect governments to eliminate NTMs in the same manner as they would eliminate tariffs.

Note: The unemployment benefits re-insurance scheme is a stabilisation mechanism for the euro area. Support from the fund, triggered when the unemployment rate increases to high levels, is proportional to the size of the crisis. A participating country pays 0.1% of GDP per year when the fund issues debt and an additional charge of 0.05% of GDP for every year support was received in the past 10 years. Counterfactual simulations on GDP show that for an average annual contribution of 0.2% of GDP, the fund could achieve significant stabilisation while avoiding permanent transfers between countries.

Note: The frontier is measured by the average of log labour productivity for the top 5% of companies with the highest productivity levels globally across 24 OECD countries, separately within each 2-digit industry and year. “Firms below the frontier” capture the log productivity for all other firms, constructed in a similar way. The series are normalised to 100 in the starting year (2003=100) and the time variation is approximated by changes in the log measures x 100.

Key messages

25

Global growth is slowing

  • Global growth is set to weaken on the back of slower trade growth and less supportive policies
  • The OECD unemployment rate is at record low and wages are growing modestly
  • Inflation has yet to pick up

Clouds are gathering on the horizon

  • Tariff hikes are slowing growth and could disrupt value chains and jobs
  • Emerging markets remain vulnerable to rising US rates and capital outflows
  • Political and geopolitical risks increase uncertainty

Enhance cooperation and prepare for more difficult times

  • Cooperation needed to reduce uncertainty, avoid protectionism, and act in face of a downturn
  • Strengthen the euro area by completing the banking union and progressing on a common fiscal

capacity

  • Step up action to reduce inequality and improve trust in governments
