The OECD produces highly sought-after annual reviews of Member countries' economies and selected non-member countries. Approximately eighteen surveys are issued during a calendar year. Each issue provides a solid analysis of developments in the subject country, special reports on topics of current interest, and extensive statistical information.
OECD Economic Surveys are reference tools for governments, businesses, academics and NGOs. The format and basic content of all Economic Surveys are the same.
