Laurence Boone - Accelerating Investment in Structural Transformation

In her address to the IIEA, which coincides with the launch of the OECD Ireland Economic Survey 2020, Laurence Boone argues that rethinking fiscal policy and acting vigorously to address the challenges raised by digitalisation, climate change and persistent inequalities all have the potential to lift global investment and living standards. She also contends that Irish policymakers must continue to encourage investment in complementary skills and revisit policy settings in areas such as competition and the labour market.

Q&A starts at 29:20
