    Abstract: Au Canada, le pourcentage des personnes âgées de 65 ans et plus dans la population active doublera pour passer à 45 % en 2050. Sans changement d’orientation, cette situation pourrait se traduire par davantage de dépenses publiques, par des pénuries de main-d’œuvre et par un ralentissement de la croissance économique. Cet ouvrage examine les principaux obstacles que les travailleurs âgés doivent surmonter dans la vie active. Il évalue la pertinence et l’efficacité des mesures existantes destinées à surmonter ces obstacles et présente un ensemble de recommandations à l’attention des pouvoirs publics et des partenaires sociaux. D’autre part, il apprécie l’équilibre qui existe entre les aides au revenu et les incitations à l’emploi, les méthodes qui visent à encourager les employeurs à recruter des salariés à long terme et, enfin, les mesures garantissant aux travailleurs âgés la possibilité d’être embauchés.

    Abstract: La Chine est aujourd’hui l’une des premières destinations au monde d’investissement direct étranger (IDE), mais le rôle des opérations transfrontalières de fusions et acquisitions y demeure relativement modeste, alors qu’elles sont pourtant devenues la principale forme de circulation de l’IDE dans le monde. En passant en revue les évolutions intervenues depuis 2003, ce rapport permet d’évaluer les progrès réalisés pour élaborer un cadre institutionnel efficace pour les fusions et acquisitions transfrontalières en Chine, de dresser l’inventaire des obstacles qui subsistent et de proposer différentes mesures que les pouvoirs publics pourraient prendre pour y remédier.

    Abstract: La fiabilité des systèmes de santé supposent des systèmes de compensation et de prévention qui couvrent de manière appropriée la responsabilité des professionnels et des établissements de santé et limitent les mauvaises pratiques médicales. Au cours des dernières années, dans certains pays de l’OCDE, les dispositifs d’indemnisation et de prévention des dommages ont rencontré des difficultés. Celles-ci ont notamment conduit certains spécialistes et chirurgiens à quitter leur métier ou à développer une médecine « défensive » coûteuse et inutile quand elle n’est pas porteuse de risque pour les patients. Cette publication évalue les différents types de dispositifs et de réformes élaborés afin de réduire et d’indemniser plus efficacement les incidents médicaux. En tenant compte des spécificités de chaque situation domestique et en particulier des systèmes de santé, l’étude analyse également les raisons principales des difficultés rencontrées par certains de ces systèmes de compensation et de prévention. L’étude offre une série unique de suggestions ciblées pour mettre en place un dispositif d’indemnisation/prévention plus efficace pour gérer les incidents résultant d’un traitement médical.

    Abstract: China has become one of the world's leading destinations for foreign direct investment (FDI). However, while cross-border mergers and acquisitions (M&A) have become the dominant form of global FDI flows, they remain a relatively small part of FDI flows into China. In reviewing developments since 2003, this review evaluates the progress made in developing an effective institutional framework for cross-border M&A in China, takes stock of remaining obstacles, and offers policy options to address them.

    Abstract: This paper was prepared by Katia Yannaca-Small, Legal Advisor, Investment Division, Directorate for Financial and Enterprise Affairs, OECD. Thanks are due to Catriona Paterson, a consultant to the Investment Division, for research input. It has been developed as an input to the Investment Committee’s work aimed at enhancing understanding of the "umbrella clause" in international investment agreements and has benefited from discussions and a variety of perspectives in the Committee. It was also a subject for discussion at an APEC-UNCTAD Regional Seminar on Investor-State Dispute Settlement in Mexico City on 9-10 October 2006. The paper as a factual survey does not necessarily reflect the views of the OECD or those of its Member governments. It cannot be construed as prejudging ongoing or future negotiations or disputes pertaining to international investment agreements.

    OECD's FDI Regulatory Restrictiveness Index : Revision and Extension to more Economies (2006)

    Language: English
    Pages: 18 p. , 21 x 29.7cm
    Series Statement: OECD Working Papers on International Investment no.2006/04
    Keywords: Finance and Investment
    Abstract: This paper provides a revised measure of regulatory restrictions on inward foreign direct investment (FDI) for OECD countries and extends the approach to 13 non-member countries. The methodology is largely similar to that adopted in the previous version of the OECD indicator and covers three broad categories of restrictions: limitations on foreign ownership, screening or notification procedures, and management and operational restrictions. The FDI restrictiveness indicator captures statutory deviations from "national treatment", i.e. discrimination against foreign investment. When combined with other factors having an influence on foreign investment decisions, it has proven to be a good predictor of countries' inward FDI performance.

    Abstract: This paper was prepared in the context of the Investment Committee’s project on International Investor Participation in Infrastructure. It summarises information available in the public domain about investor-state dispute settlements in the infrastructure sectors. The document as a factual survey, however, does not necessarily reflect the views of the OECD or those of its Member governments. It cannot be construed as prejudging ongoing or future negotiations or disputes pertaining to international investment agreements. The purpose of the paper is to provide an indication of some of the challenges to international investor participation in infrastructure that have in the past led to the breakdown of working relationships between public and private partners. This paper was prepared by Catriona Paterson, a Consultant in the OECD Investment Division.

    Abstract: Le Cadre d’action pour l’investissement est destiné à mobiliser l’investissement privé au service d’une croissance régulière et d’un développement durable. Il a donc pour but de contribuer à la prospérité des pays et de leurs citoyens et à la lutte contre la pauvreté. S’appuyant sur les bonnes pratiques des pays membres de l’OCDE et des pays non membres ; le Cadre articule une série de questions que les gouvernements doivent prendre en compte dans dix domaines d’action que le Consensus de Monterrey identifie comme ayant une incidence critique sur la qualité des conditions de l’investissement dans les pays, y compris pour les petites entreprises et les investisseurs étrangers. Ces questions sont les suivantes : politique d’investissement promotion et facilitation de l’investissement échanges concurrence fiscalité gouvernement d’entreprise comportement responsable des entreprises mise en valeur des ressources humaines développement des infrastructures et du secteur financier gouvernance publique Son objectif essentiel est d’encourager les gouvernements à se poser les bonnes questions sur leur économie, leurs institutions et le cadre de leurs politiques afin de définir leurs priorités, de mettre en place un ensemble cohérent de mesures et de faire le point sur les progrès accomplis. Le Cadre a été mis au point par un groupe de travail composé de représentants d'environ 60 gouvernements, avec une participation active de la Banque mondiale et d’autres organisations internationales, les organisations patronales et syndicales ainsi que d’autres organisations de la société civile.

    Abstract: Despite recent growth, the volume of Russia’s international investment remains modest compared with major OECD countries. The recent upsurge of inward foreign direct investment (FDI) has not yet translated into a significant share of FDI in GDP and total investment. This 2006 OECD Investment Policy Review of the Russian Federation examines developments in Russia's regulatory investment environment since the publication of the 2004 Review, focusing on investment policy transparency and effective implementation. It includes recommendations to move capital control reform forward, to adopt least-restrictive approaches to legislation on "strategic sectors" and to strengthen Russia's international investment agreements.

    Abstract: The objective of the Policy Framework for Investment is to mobilise private investment that supports economic growth and sustainable development. It thus aims to contribute to the prosperity of countries and their citizens as well as to support the fight against poverty. Drawing on good practices from OECD and non-OECD countries, the Framework proposes a set of questions for governments to consider in ten policy fields identified in the 2002 UN Monterrey Consensus on Financing for Development as critically important for the quality of a country’s environment for investment, including by small enterprises and foreign investors. These are: Investment policy Investment promotion and facilitation Trade Competition Tax Corporate governance Policies for promoting responsible business conduct Human resource development Infrastructure and financial sector development Public governance Its core purpose is to encourage policy makers to ask appropriate questions about their economy, their institutions and their policy settings in order to identify priorities, to develop an effective set of policies and to evaluate progress. The Framework was developed by a task force of officials from about 60 governments, with participation by the World Bank and other international organisations, as well as business, trade union and civil society organisations.

The system of investment dispute settlement has borrowed its main elements from the system of commercial arbitration despite the fact that investor-state disputes often raise public interest issues which are usually absent from international commercial...

    Abstract: The lack of funding available from the financial sector for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) is known as the "financing gap". This timely report analyses this gap for both credit and equity financing and seeks to determine how prevalent such a gap may be, both among OECD countries and non-OECD economies. The report recommends measures to foster an improved flow of financing to SMEs and entrepreneurs.

    Abstract: Transition and emerging economies have difficulties developing their financial markets to a level that would provide access to long-term debt finance at an affordable cost. This report examines opportunities beyond the public sector for financing water and other environmental infrastructure. Specifically, opportunities for accessing savings through private financial and capital markets have been examined. The report identifies bottlenecks to the development of local financial markets for environmental infrastructure and discusses policy recommendations to tackle them.

    Abstract: Confidence in a country’s health care system requires indemnification and deterrence systems that adequately cover liability, provide fair compensation for injury, and deter medical malpractices. Over the last years, in many OECD countries, these systems have experienced difficulties resulting in high-risk specialty physicians and surgeons leaving the practice and the development of expensive and useless—if not risky—defensive medicine. This publication surveys and assesses various types of mechanisms and reforms that best limit and indemnify medical accidents. Reasons for difficulties faced by some compensation and prevention regimes, given the specificities of national circumstances and in particular of health care systems, are examined. The study offers a series of unique and focused policy options for establishing more efficient indemnification and deterrence systems to cope with medical accidents.

    Abstract: Les Indicateurs de mondialisation économique, étayés de plus de 250 graphiques, permettent de mieux cerner les activités économiques des pays membres qui sont sous contrôle étranger, et tout particulièrement la contribution des entreprises multinationales à la croissance, à l’emploi, à la productivité, à la rémunération salariale, à la recherche-développement, à la diffusion technologique et aux échanges internationaux. L’analyse mesure ainsi l'intensité et l'importance du processus de mondialisation et jette une lumière nouvelle sur les interdépendances financières, technologiques et commerciales des pays de l’OCDE.

    Abstract: Les accords internationaux sur l’investissement renforcent les efforts nationaux de libéralisation et améliorent la sécurité juridique des investissements. Récemment, on a vu apparaître une « nouvelle génération » d’accords bilatéraux et régionaux sur l’investissement ainsi qu’une jurisprudence de plus en plus étoffée. L’OCDE a entrepris une analyse de leurs dispositions essentielles et des procédures d’arbitrage, contribuant ainsi à faire connaître plus largement leurs conséquences et à assurer en dernier ressort des résultats à la fois meilleurs et plus prévisibles pour les pouvoirs publics et les investisseurs. Cette publication réunit quatre études réalisées dans le contexte du programme de travail du Comité de l’investissement sur les problèmes juridiques et politiques découlant des accords internationaux. La première étude traite du rôle de la transparence et de la participation de tierces parties aux procédures de règlement des différends entre investisseurs et États. Elle examine les règles actuelles et les mesures prises récemment pour améliorer la transparence dans ce domaine. L’étude sur la « Norme de traitement juste et équitable » explore ce concept et les éléments qu’il recouvre, en s’appuyant sur la jurisprudence et la pratique des États. L’étude sur « L’expropriation indirecte et le droit de réglementer » concerne l’une des dispositions les plus fréquemment contestées dans les arbitrages de ces dernières années entre investisseurs et États. Elle met en évidence les principaux critères inscrits dans les accords sur l’investissement et utilisés par les tribunaux pour délimiter les deux concepts. Enfin, l’étude sur le « Traitement de la nation la plus favorisée » examine les principes acceptés pour interpréter l’application de cette disposition traditionnelle des accords sur l’investissement.

    Abstract: This volume discusses progress made to date in Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Mexico in putting their finances in order and points out the challenges ahead. It provides an overview of trends and highlights the diversity of fiscal adjustment processes in Latin American countries. It also describes the financial market perspective and role of sovereign debt ratings. The chapter on Argentina debunks the view that fiscal management in the 1990s was irresponsible, arguing instead that the financial crisis was caused by a confluence of costly pension reforms, Brady debt restructuring and the recognition of fiscal “skeletons” in the closet. The chapter on Brazil makes a case for a more entrenched culture of fiscal austerity to make the current achievements sustainable. The Chile chapter describes the role of political cohesiveness following the return of democracy in driving the economy to fiscal rectitude. Finally, the chapter on Mexico discusses different scenarios for debt dynamics and the country’s efforts to contain expenditure pressures.

Guidelines were first endorsed by the OECD Insurance and Private Pensions Committee in collaboration and wide consultation with the 30 member countries’ governmental experts in the insurance sector as well as the insurance and reinsurance industry. These guidelines were also deemed fully compatible and consistent with the OECD Revised Principles on Corporate Governance by its Steering Group in October 2004.

    Abstract: With the economic reform in the late 1970s, it has been an objective of government policy for Chinese banks to move away from their traditional passive role of executing directives adapted to the active role in resource allocation of banks in a market economy. However, owing to unclear ownership structures and a history of support of regional and industrial policy, most Chinese banks have had difficulty making the transition. This is particularly true for the four large state-owned commercial banks (SOCBs). In 1998-99, a significant effort to strengthen SOCB balance sheets was undertaken, but the results were disappointing. In the most recent phase of the reform, which began in 2003, the authorities concluded that 〉further attempts at rehabilitation of the SOCBs had to address the issue of bank governance......

    Abstract: In the past few years, there has been a trend towards the harmonisation of pension policies for private and public sector workers, with the introduction of occupational complementary pension funds for civil servants. In many OECD countries these funds are among the largest in terms of assets and number of participants and constitute an important share of financial assets. Nonetheless, civil servants’ pension funds are exposed to particular risks related to the multiple roles played by the state which is, at same time, sponsor, regulator, supervisor, service provider, fiduciary agent and recipient of pension fund investments. Specific government-related agency problems can arise with respect to these funds which differ from those frequently analysed in the private sector. This paper analyses these risks in light of the experiences of Australia, Canada, Japan, the Netherlands and the United States and identifies good practices on how to avoid or mitigate them.

    Abstract: After some significant corrections in the second half of May and in early June, major equity markets have resumed their growth, in some cases regaining levels reached before the May-June contraction. Against a backdrop of healthy corporate balance sheets, robust earnings growth and low default rates, investor sentiment has remained positive, as reflected in these equity market developments and compressed credit spreads. However, there are signs of increasing nevousness, which include the May/June market turbulence and somewhat increased levels of historical and implied volatility. The increased nervousness may reflect in part downward revisions to economic forecasts.

    Keywords: Finance and Investment
    Abstract: The OECD Guidelines on Pension Fund Asset Management set out a basic framework for the regulation of pension fund investment. The Guidelines start with the basic premise that the regulatory framework should take into account the retirement income objective of a pension fund. Two other essential aspects of the regulatory framework are the prudent person standard and the statement of investment policy. Regulations may also include quantitative limits, but only as long as they are consistent with and promote the prudential principles of security, profitability and liquidity pursuant to which assets should be invested. These Guidelines were developed by the Working Party on Private Pensions and the Insurance and Private Pensions Committee and were adopted by the OECD Council on 26 January 2006. They complement the "Recommendation of the Council on Core Principles of Occupational Pension Regulation", adopted by the OECD Council in July 2004.

    Abstract: Ageing will translate into long run trends in supply as well as demand of capital in the next decades. This paper provides some quantitative assessments of the effects on financial markets of ageing in four large OECD countries (United States, Japan, Germany, and France). Using a simplified general equilibrium model with overlapping generations, it suggests that ageing could bolster capital-labour ratios and lower interest rates in the future (by 25 bp to 100 bp in the long run, depending on the characteristics of pension systems reforms). In this context, the fear for a future “asset meltdown” due to ageing is probably overstated. The model also suggests that the individual accumulation of capital is likely to increase in the future and require structural changes in financial markets. Households will increasingly need to insure against the uncertainty related to future asset prices, rates of return on capital or individual longevity....

    Abstract: The article describes the results of a modeling exercise to gauge the size of potential pension fund demand for bonds under some simplifying assumptions, so as to illustrate the potential role of this specific group of investors. It provides a measure of the potential excess demand for high-quality fixed-income instruments from pension funds, using the admittedly restrictive assumptions that pension funds invest only in high-quality bonds in an attempt to achieve cash-flow matching of their liabilities.

    Abstract: Financial markets in major economies have been broadly strong after some weakening in the first part of the fourth quarter of 2005. Equity markets in the euro area have been buoyant over the past few months, and the strong upswing of Japanese markets in the fourth quarter was perhaps driven by prospects of the end of deflation.

    Abstract: Over the past few months, prices in major financial markets have remained strong despite further oil price increases. After major equity markets had shown a soft spot around March and April, they regained their upward trend in the second quarter. Terrorist attacks in London in July and the hurricane Katrina in the United States which hit the New Orleans region at the end of August did not disrupt markets, despite the large size of human, economic and insured losses associated with the latter event.

    Abstract: In 2003, the OECD established the Financial Education Project in response to the increasing interest of its member countries in improving the financial literacy of their consumers. Phase one of this project has culminated in the publication of the first major study of financial education at the international level. This book, Improving Financial Literacy: Analysis of Issues and Policies (OECD, 2005, forthcoming), contributes to the development of consumer financial literacy by providing information to policymakers on effective financial education programmes and by facilitating the sharing of experience in the field of financial education and awareness.

    Abstract: A useful proxy for the total assets accumulated in long-term savings and retirement systems is the sum of investments of pension funds and life insurance companies. This proxy covers the vast majority of occupational and personal pension arrangements for both the public and private sectors that rely on funding. In 2004, the total assets held by pension funds and life insurance companies grew by over USD 3.3 trillion or 1.5 percentage points of total GDP in OECD countries.

    Abstract: This paper empirically explores the impact of pension funds on market volatility, equity prices, government and corporate bond yields for a panel of 24 countries. The results show a positive and statistically significant relationship between market volatility and pension assets. It complements micro evidence (Dennis and Strickland, 2002) as well as macro findings (Davis, 2004). In addition, equity prices are found to be positively correlated with pension funds, a finding observable for both OECD countries and emerging market economies (EMEs) and present in both the short and long terms. Furthermore, there is evidence indicating a negative link between pension fund assets and both corporate and government bond yields. This might be due to the sizeable buying effects of pension funds, particularly when governments have the tendency to use pension funds to finance implicit pension debts when the traditional pay-as-you-go systems shift to funded systems.

    Abstract: The Russian Federation has undergone a major reform of the pension system which has resulted in a shift from a single, publicly managed system to one supplemented by a mandatory, privately managed occupational funded component and voluntary pension arrangements. The reform aimed to tackle a set of problems of demographic, social and economic order inherent to retirement income provision and was viewed as a way to improve old-age security of retirees in Russia by ensuring long-term financial and fiscal stability of the pension system and adequacy of pension benefits. This book examines these reforms and new challenges related to the reforms. Most prominent among the challenges is the need to further strengthen the pension system regulatory capacity and enforcement powers of the authorities in charge of the oversight of private pension institutions.

    Abstract: The sheer volume of debt hanging over Asian companies suggests that corporate insolvency should remain a top policy concern. This conference proceedings presents reports from each country on the trends and developments in debt and credit risk since the 1997-1998 Asian financial crisis. It also includes overview papers that examine the problem in a wider context. These papers suggest that risk management practices, legal systems, liquidation and recovery, and institutional infrastructure and capacity all require additional attention.

    Abstract: In addition to private pension fund and life insurance assets, several countries have accumulated large amounts of pension assets in their national pension reserve funds. Pension reserve fund refers to assets set aside by otherwise pay-as-you-go systems in preparation for the rising fiscal costs resulting from the predicted ageing of the population over the next few decades.

    Abstract: Many commentators have postulated a “financing gap” for small and mediumsized enterprises (SMEs), meaning that there are significant numbers of SMEs that could use funds productively if they were available, but cannot obtain finance from the formal financial system. This article summarises an OECD report (OECD, 2006) on this topic which seeks to determine how prevalent such a gap may be – both in OECD countries and non-member economies – and recommends measures to foster an improved flow of financing to SMEs.

    Abstract: Over the past few years China has emerged as a major player in the global economy with a pivotal position in global production, trade and, increasingly, finance. In the context of large imbalances in world growth rates, China has helped sustain world economic expansion, especially in the Asia Pacific region. China is also an important force in global financial flows. The country is one of the world’s largest recipients of FDI inflows. Moreover, China, along with other Asian economies, has been accumulating reserves, thereby supporting the present configuration of exchange rates in major OECD regions. The country is now a major investor in key asset markets, such as the international market in government securities.

    Factors behind Low Long-Term Interest Rates (2006)

    Keywords: Finance and Investment
    Abstract: Long-term bond yields have been low in recent years both in nominal and real terms, and – especially in the United States – they have reacted differently to shifts in monetary and fiscal stances relative to previous cycles. This article examines various possible explanations for this behaviour, such as the effects of changes in monetary policy frameworks on inflation and interest rate expectations; developments in ex ante saving-investment balances, and shifts in investors’ portfolio preferences (including official reserve accumulation, “petro-dollar” recycling and pension fund demand for longer maturities). The article concludes that it is unlikely that any individual explanation can account for the level and profile of bond yields in recent years, but that an important element has been a compression in term premia, together with shifts in expected short rates. Even though bond yields have started to rise in the early part of 2006, they are unlikely to go back to the levels that prevailed in the 1980s or the early 1990s, as several of the factors that drove them lower are set to persist.
