The launch of this report is especially timely, because the question of how we can and should collectively govern the Internet is increasingly relevant. The Internet is now an essential part of our lives and a critical element of the world economy. Internet penetration increased almost sevenfold in the past 15 years - from 6.5% of the world population in 2000 to 43 % in 2015.

In the US, women have more opportunities than ever before and are better off than their counterparts in many other OECD countries. But the US is still facing important challenges empowering women and promoting gender inclusion. Women earn 17% less than men on average, compared with the OECD average wage gap of 15%.

Thank you, Amy Liu. It’s a pleasure to be back at Brookings. This afternoon, I will launch the 2016 Economic Survey of the United States, so I can start with some good news! Seven years after the depths of the financial crisis, the US is making a comeback, registering one of the strongest economic recoveries in the OECD.

It is a pleasure to be here to present the OECD’s 2016 US Economic Survey. I would like to thank the US Administration ─ in particular Secretary Lew and his Treasury team ─ for their support and input on the Survey, and to Adam Posen and his staff for generously hosting us at the Peterson Institute.

Today’s theme – prospering in a low-growth era – suggests that growth rates have declined permanently and that we should focus on how to prosper in such new conditions. There are many problems facing us today not directly related to the pace of economic growth. Indeed, some challenges, like climate change, may actually be eased by slower growth.

I am delighted to be in Montreal to launch the 2016 Economic Survey of Canada. I would flag that we are today also releasing another report, in our Better Policies series, which looks at Canada’s policy performance across a broad range of areas, with recommendations in each. I handed a preliminary version of this report to Prime Minister Trudeau late last year, but we have been refining it since then and today are making it public.
