Is a drop in business investment across OECD nations signaling a <\/strong>threat for global <\/strong>growth? <\/strong>The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development released a study looking into Understanding the Weakness in Business Investment (pdf)<\/a> through a cross-country analysis, revealing that a weak investment trend across the 38 member nations of the OECD is contributing to weak global productivity growth. <\/p>\n

(Tap or click the headline above to read this story with all of the links <\/strong>to our background as well as external sources.)<\/p>\n

After the global financial crisis of 2008, fixed investment fell sharply across many <\/strong>countries<\/strong>, especially those of the more developed OECD nations, with the ensuing recovery proving relatively modest, the report explains. Real business investment remains 23% below its pre-crisis trend, with only Israel and Portugal, out of 34 advanced economies the OECD tracked, having recovered and surpassed their pre-financial crisis net investment trajectories.<\/p>\n

Insufficient aggregate demand and increased economic uncertainty appear to be the <\/strong>leading factors behind this shortfall<\/strong>, while more structural factors \u2014 most importantly the rising importance of intangible assets \u2014 are also linked to this lack of recovery, the OECD study explains. The recovery of the business investment environment was further muted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Shifts in corporate strategies \u2014 such as greater financialisation and prioritizing shareholder returns over capital expenditures \u2014 have also been linked to falling investment levels, the study shows. Meanwhile, the unpredictable rollout of Trump\u2019s tariffs has further discouraged corporations from committing to significant spending plans.<\/p>\n

How is this impacting global growth?<\/strong> If corporate spending on new projects and facilities does not pick up, countries will \u201cnot be able to sustain growth,\u201d outgoing chief economist at OECD \u00c1lvaro Pereira told the Financial Times<\/a>. <\/p>\n

While no Arab nation is a member of the OECD, a drop in business investment still <\/strong>affects the region<\/strong> given the trade pacts and investment agreements between the two sides, so much of the OECD\u2019s conclusions may impact us as well. <\/p>\n

The OECD\u2019s survey recommends a comprehensive set of policies to address the <\/strong>weakness in business investment. <\/strong>Key priorities include \u201creducing uncertainty through transparent, rules-based trade, tax, and regulatory frameworks, and tackling structural barriers to investment by enhancing competition, reducing regulatory burdens, addressing skills shortages and alleviating financing constraints\u201d the organization said.<\/p>\n
