Abstract

It is now nearly two years since the last of the regular assessments of industrial production in this Review. Whereas these usually looked up to eighteen months ahead, this chapter looks at the medium-term. It discusses, at a disaggregated level, the changes in the structure of the economy that might be implied by the aggregate forecast in chapter I. This discussion is prefaced by an examination of recent trends.
