The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) will release its economic survey of South Africa on Monday 19 July 2010. The survey looks at measures to boost longterm growth and employment in the country, ranging from labour markets to fiscal policy issues. The OECD released its first Economic Assessment of South Africa in 2008.
Journalists will be allowed access to the electronic version of the publication, by e-mail and under embargo, the day before release. To receive the Survey under embargo, journalists undertake to respect the OECD's embargo procedures. Requests to receive the survey by email under embargo or to obtain a password to access the website must be sent by e-mail to embargo@oecd.org.
The survey will also be available on the OECD's password-protected website at 14.30 on the day for immediate release. A Policy Brief with the main conclusions of the survey in PDF format will also be available at www.oecd.org/eco/surveys/southafrica.
