OverviewHow real is the risk of a global capital shortage in the coming decades? Many OECD countries face long-term declines in saving rates, rapid population ageing and high public sector deficits. The question is whether these countries will be able to supply the world economy with adequate amounts of capital in the future. Moreover, the growing investment requirements of emerging economies in Asia, Latin America and Central and Eastern Europe are heightening fears that worldwide demand for capital could outrun supply. This publication assesses the outlook for saving and investment in the major economic regions of the world at 2010-2020, and explores the key policy issues involved.
