Greek crisis risks positive OECD outlook

The latest economic outlook from the OECD, published last month, forecasts that global growth will pick up in 2015 and 2016.

It points out, though, that growth will remain modest enough relative to previous cycles and also highlights a number of risks to its forecast, including the ongoing Greek debt crisis.

The OECD notes that the year got off to an inauspicious start with the first quarter seeing the weakest global growth since the end of the financial crisis.
