    Études économiques de l'OCDE : Lettonie 2019 (version abrégée)

    La croissance économique est forte et la convergence des revenus se poursuit, quoique à un rythme plus lent qu'avant 2008. Le marché du travail est tendu, étant donné que le taux de chômage a chuté à son plus bas niveau depuis dix ans et que le nombre d'emplois vacants augmente rapidement. La croissance des salaires est forte, soutenant le pouvoir d'achat des ménages. Malgré la hausse des coûts de main-d'œuvre, les exportateurs lettons sont restés compétitifs et ont gagné des parts de marché. La situation macroéconomique semble globalement équilibrée, l'inflation, la dette publique et le déficit étant maîtrisés. Les marchés de capitaux semblent stables, étayés par une politique macroprudentielle judicieuse.

    Innovation, Agricultural Productivity and Sustainability in Latvia

    Latvia, a member of the European Union since 2004, is a small, dynamic and open economy that has successfully transitioned from central planning to a market economy. The reforms undertaken have driven progress, although from generally low levels and at a slower pace in agriculture than for the economy as a whole. This report examines the conditions under which farms and businesses in the food and agriculture sector in Latvia undertake innovation to become more productive and environmentally sustainable. It identifies opportunities as well as challenges that need to be addressed. These include economy wide skills shortage, emigration and population decline and urban concentration of population and services. At the sectoral level, these include the use of agricultural payments to support a large number of non-commercial farms and the high level of unpaid farm labour. To meet these challenges, agricultural innovation can be harnessed to improve the sector’s productivity, as well as the sustainability and efficiency of the food system. This report provides a series of recommendations that should allow agricultural policies to contribute to a well-functioning innovation system that can meet the challenges that lie ahead.

    OECD Reviews of Pension Systems: Latvia

    This report assesses the performance of all components of Latvia's pension system. Latvia was the first country to fully implement a non-financial (notional) defined contribution (NDC) scheme in 1996. A funded mandatory earnings-related scheme complemented NDC since 2001. Voluntary private pensions cover only limited number of people. Over the last 20 years, the severe economic crisis, population ageing and strong emigration have revealed both strengths and weaknesses of the Latvian pension system. The review assesses also the minimum and basic pension schemes which provide the first-layer of protection against the old age poverty especially for those with short or patchy careers. Separate analysis focuses on the disability and early retirement schemes, including the schemes for workers in arduous and hazardous occupations. The detailed analysis leads to tailored recommendations on how to improve the performance of each element as well as the pension system as a whole.
