Extract

For the OECD area as a whole total output probably rose in 1983 by 2¼ per cent, while the unemployment rate, though rather higher overall than in 1982, declined considerably during the year and the average rate of consumer price inflation was down to less than 5½ per cent from 7¾ per cent in 1982. This means that from every important economic aspect the year was a much better one for the industrial countries than we expected twelve months ago.
