But behind this resilience, fiscal pressures are steadily increasing. An ageing population, rising healthcare costs, the climate transition and higher defence spending are all putting greater strain on public finances. At the same time, weak productivity growth continues to weigh on long-term living standards. A new OECD - OCDE blog explores how structural reforms need to go hand in hand with fiscal discipline. Reforms that strengthen productivity, investment and labour supply can support growth and broaden the tax base, while better targeting of spending and tax provisions can improve sustainable public finances. 🔗 Read more: https://brnw.ch/21x52oi #UnitedKingdom #FiscalPolicy #EconomicGrowth #PublicFinance #OECD

Originally designed to safeguard trade secrets, non-compete clauses have become far more common across OECD countries and now extend well beyond senior executives and highly specialised workers. A new OECD - OCDE blog explores evidence from surveys covering more than 30 000 workers and 6 000 companies across 15 OECD countries. The findings show these clauses can reduce labour mobility, weaken competition and slow productivity growth, raising important questions for policymakers.
