Three strategic priorities

14

One major Axis:

Shifting Wealth

Two interrelated themes:

Achieving Economic Competitiveness

Building Cohesive Societies

15

How can we explain the new phenomenon of shifting wealth and how can it be measured?

Is this likely to be a temporary phenomenon or does it have long-term/permanent features?

What can policy makers in the newly rich countries do to a) use this wealth to improve the well-being of their citizens and b)contribute to world development?

What can policy makers in developing countries do which are not benefitting directly from this shift and how can they remain in the game and benefit from it?

How can the provision of global public goods be ensured against the background of shifting wealth and the move to a mutli-polar world?

Key questions

16

The OECD Global Development Outlook (GDO)

•GDO 2010 : Shifting Wealth - Implications for Policy Management and Governance•GDO 2011 : Shifting Wealth - Building Cohesive Societies
