DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/n64kfg/oecd_economic) has announced the addition of OECD Publishing's new report "OECD Economic Outlook, Volume 2012 Issue 2: Preliminary version" to their offering.
The global recovery has slowed markedly over the past year, with the fragilities apparent at the end of 2011 further accentuated by the recession in the euro area and the unexpectedly strong slowdown in many emerging market economies. The factors behind these developments include the negative spillovers from the euro crisis on global activity and confidence, prolonged deleveraging in the aftermath of the financial crisis, stronger effects from past policy tightening than anticipated and widespread uncertainty, not least about the future stance of fiscal policy but also about the extent of the slowdown in trend growth in some non-OECD economies.
In OECD countries outside the euro area, following a pattern that has been common in past years, growth has fluctuated around a modest trend. In some of these economies there remains a risk that endogenous dynamic forces from high unemployment, excess inventories and weak confidence could further undermine activity. Overall, notwithstanding some recent signs of stabilisation, global prospects remain fragile, with strong downside risks, and are heavily dependent on the speed and decisiveness of policy actions.
The OECD Economic Outlook is the OECD's twice-yearly analysis of the major economic trends and prospects for the next two years. The Outlook puts forward a consistent set of projections for output, employment, prices, fiscal and current account balances.
Coverage is provided for all OECD member countries as well as for selected non-member countries. This issue includes a general assessment, chapters summarising developments and providing projections for each individual country and an extensive statistical annex.

Chapter 1. General Assessment of the Macroeconomic Situation
