🌟 NEW #COGITO Blog In our latest blog entry, Delphine CLAVREUL and Dorothée Allain-Dupré (Landel) dive into the key findings of the 2023 OECD - OCDE Regional Outlook. The report shows that metropolitan areas are galloping ahead with GDP per-capita averaging 30% more than other regions in most OECD countries. 🔎 In focus: 🟢 In the U.S., metro areas that make up 72% of the country’s population, accounted for 95% of GDP growth between 2011-20. 🟢 Poor digital infrastructure drags down productivity in left-behind regions even more. Cities have 40% faster fixed internet on average in the OECD than areas far from their orbit. 🟢 Hospital beds per capita – a classic healthcare metric – dropped 17% in remote regions between 2001-21 but rose 13% in metropolitan areas in OECD countries. 🟢 While around a third of jobs are green in Stockholm, Luxembourg, Paris, London and Oslo, this figure is far lower in poorer and remote regions that need extra help to push up their productivity levels. 🟢 Some OECD countries are bucking this trend of widening regional inequalities. Finland, Norway, Germany, the Netherlands and New Zealand are above-average GDP per capita countries that have reduced income inequalities from region-to-region. How can better policies help get disadvantaged regions back on their feet? 👉 The OECD Regional Outlook 2023 highlights the need for better access to public services; better infrastructure to boost productivity and competition; better local skills development; better co-ordination of multi-level governance systems; and better subnational fiscal and strategic capacity.

I had the pleasure of speaking about our work on global debt markets this morning in an interview on CNBC's Squawk Box. I highlighted the increases in both corporate and sovereign debt since the 2008 financial crisis, the parallel decrease in corporate credit quality and the upcoming refinancing requirements. We continue our analysis on these important topics with more work to come. Have a look at the interview: https://lnkd.in/e9Ke8Z3X
