Organization of Economic Cooperation emphasizes that reducing productivity disparities between British regions boosts economic growth
The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) is calling for a reduction in productivity gaps across different regions of Britain to promote economic growth. It emphasizes that achieving this requires a long-term strategy that includes developing skills, infrastructure, and innovation, as well as supporting strong financing and local governance. This initiative is linked to political leadership efforts, such as those by Andy Burnham, who has promised to grant greater powers to local authorities to stimulate growth and improve living standards. Despite the UK economy remaining stable, challenges persist, with growth expected to slow to 0.9% this year amid rising energy prices and financial pressures.
