#Argentina: Recent reforms have helped improve key economic indicators: fiscal balance, inflation and growth.
One challenge remains to create more formal jobs & improve living standards.
Labour market reform, now being debated in congress, could help.

#Thailand: A key challenge is reviving productivity growth, which slowed from 4.8% (2010-15) to 2.1% (2015-23).
The @OECD recommends reforms that boost competition, reduce the administrative burden on businesses and simplify foreign direct investment.

#Argentina: Long legal disputes after dismissals create risks for firms.

The @OECD Economic Survey of Argentina, launched in July 2025, looks at how pre-funded unemployment insurance could protect workers better than high severance pay.

#Thailand’s new government will inherit public debt nearing 70% of GDP.
To ease fiscal pressures:
✅Improve spending efficiency
✅Increase the value-added tax rate
✅Lower the income tax threshold
✅Raise the income cap for assessing social contributions

After cutting poverty by more than half in the past 15 years, the Philippines aims to triple per-capita income by 2040, relative to 2015. But with rising climate risks & demographic & trade challenges, reforms are needed to sustain growth.
Recommendations➡️https://t.co/n7pHCkSgt6

First @OECD Eco. Survey of the #Philippines
Strong growth over the past 15 years has cut poverty by more than half.
Key priorities: boost competition in electricity & telecoms, incentivise formal work & tackle climate change challenges.

[OECD Economics @OECDeconomy]

The first-ever @OECD Economic Survey of the #Philippines forecasts GDP growth at 5.1% in 2026 and 5.8% in 2027.
Inflation is projected to gradually rise to 2.6% in 2026 and 3.0% in 2027, the mid-point of the central bank’s target range.

Las cargas sociales elevadas encarecen el empleo formal en #Argentina, y ~ la mitad de los empleos son informales.
Reducir las cargas sociales podría reducir la #informalidad, según el Estudio Económico de Argentina de julio 2025.
Más detalles: ➡️https://t.co/TgNcZ6Ps7Z

[OECD Economics @OECDeconomy]

High labour charges make formal job creation expensive in #Argentina 🇦🇷. About 50% of workers are in informal jobs.
Lowering social contributions, as recommended in the @OECD Economic Survey launched in July 2025, could reduce #informality.

Breaking the vicious cycle between productivity and informality in Latin America: Insights from the 2025 Ministerial Conference in Lima https://t.co/0XmcrPNXEc via @oecdeconomy

[Jens Arnold @jensmarnold]

Desvincular el acceso a la protección social del trabajo formal permitirá expandir el acceso a pensiones y beneficios sociales a millones de trabajadores informales y mejorar los incentivos de formalización al mismo tiempo. Es posible, y tiene un costo fiscal manejable.

[OECD Economics @OECDeconomy]

Casi la mitad de los trabajadores en #AméricaLatina tiene empleos informales sin protección social.
El nuevo informe de la OCDE muestra cómo ampliar la cobertura de la protección social, impulsar la formalidad y construir mercados laborales más inclusivos.
https://t.co/LYJn5HPcrg

[OECD Economics @OECDeconomy]

Nearly half of #LatinAmerica’s workers are in informal jobs, often without income security or social protection.

Our new @OECD report shows how countries can expand social protection coverage, boost formality, and build more inclusive labour markets.
