OECD Secretary-General, Angel Gurría addresses the Graduate Institute, Geneva
 |
Economic growth is projected to pick up strongly as the disbursement of new EU funds increases investment and the recovery in Russia increases exports.

Wage growth is set to exceed productivity growth, which will hold back the improvement of export performance.
