The latest OECD Economic Outlook containing analysis and projections for 37 member countries and other major economies will be published on Tuesday, December 1, 2020.
After collapsing in the first half of the year, economic output recovered swiftly following the easing of measures to contain the COVID-19 pandemic and the initial re-opening of businesses. But as the summer wore on, the pace of recovery lost momentum. Now, amid renewed virus outbreaks in many economies and containment measures being re-introduced, the outlook remains highly uncertain.
On December 1, join OECD iLibrary, the OECD Economics Department, and ACRL/Choice for a presentation of the latest Economic Outlook for the United States and other key economies, followed by a conversation with OECD economists on the effect of the ongoing pandemic on the economy, and what recovery looks like in 2021 after a vaccine is widely available.
