Foundations for Growth and Competitiveness 2026

This first volume of Foundations for Growth and Competitiveness looks at structural reforms in policy areas that have been identified as priorities to lift growth in OECD and selected non-OECD countries. The selection of priorities is supported by a new database of internationally comparable indicators that enable countries to assess their economic performance and structural policies in a wide range of areas, and a newly developed policy prioritisation model. For this edition, Foundations for Growth and Competitiveness advises on country-specific structural policy priorities around three key policy areas: enabling factors, market incentives, and targeted policies. Details on the priorities to be addressed across countries covered can be found in the individual country notes.
