According to the latest report of OECD, the Global economy has enhanced due to the monetary and fiscal reasons and has shown a broad and coordinated improvement of growth in most of the countries.
Experts estimate that the economic trends of 2018 would also be on the rise, but at a slower pace as the, there are long-term challenges of creating more resilient economies to sustain the challenges of future. OECD is now focusing on the prolonged growth behavior of the private sector which also include investment, production, and trading. The employment levels are far above the pre-crisis level and yet are to produce robust real wage gains. The economic trends of 2018 if not explicit, can spell weakness for the global economy in 2019.
The debt of household and corporate are creating vulnerabilities and making sustainability a questioning factor in the medium term. The Economic Outlook for OECD is advocating an integrated approach while tackling all the issues of macroeconomic policy and a change in the structural systems. The OECD is of the opinion that the Global economy would benefit from healthier and robust financial system that would reduce the tax bias towards debt, open equity markets and clear out the problem of the insolvency regimes. Making the supply of housing more fluid and removal of tax subsidies for housing requirements would alleviate the tendency of sudden boom or fall in the market.
The projection of OECD for the global economy for the current year is at 3.7 percent, while for the year 2017 it was at 3.6 percent and the same percentage is expected for the year 2019.
The OECD has also predicted the percentage of the economic trends of 2018 and 2019 for the following countries:
| Countries | 2017 | 2018 | 2019 |
| The United States of America | 2.2 | 2.5 | 2.1 |
| Eurozone | 2.4 | 2.1 | 1.9 |
| Germany | 2.5 | 2.3 | 1.9 |
| Italy | 1.6 | 1.5 | 1.3 |
| France | 1.8 | 1.8 | 1.7 |
| The United Kingdom | 1.5 | 1.2 | 1.1 |
| Japan | 1.5 | 1 | 1 |
| Canada | 3 | 2.1 | 1.9 |
| China | 6.8 | 6.6 | 6.4 |
| India | 6.7 | 7 | 7.4 |
| Russia | 1.9 | 1.9 | 1.5 |
| Brazil | 0.7 | 1.9 | 2.3 |
The growth in the United Kingdom is unpredictable as the political situation of the country remains unstabilized, and the growth of Japan is hit due to the reasons of fiscal consolidation and the decline in the working-age population is on the rise. The major economies are on the mend even though China still maintains a softer lead due to a recession in the major export products. The economic trends 2018 of India seem brighter as the Government introduces new age reforms to accelerate the growth of the economy.
OECD is of the view that an integrated policy approach will steady the global economy which will boost growth, moderate risks in the financial sector and increase resilience.
