In which OECD countries will the economies suffer for structural causes?
In this Flash we seek to identify possible causes of a significant structural deterioration in some OECD countries’ economic situation in the medium term . We believe there is reason for particular concern about OECD countries: Where the weight of industries "of the past" (internal combustion cars, industrial capital goods) is high: Japan, Germany, Italy; That are producers of coal (due to the decline in coal use) and natural gas (due to the decline in its price): United States , Australia, Canada, Germany; Whose economies are linked to global trade, given the slowdown in such trade caused by the return to regional value chains: United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, Spain, Sweden, France, Italy; Where companies’ move up the value chain is limited: United Kingdom, Australia, France. The countries mentioned most often are Italy, Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, France and, even more so, Germany.
