Abstract

Boosting productivity growth is necessary to raise living standards and well-being for all. Aggregate productivity has fallen, mainly driven by manufacturing, although service industries have also tended to underperform. Reviving productivity requires improving framework conditions further so labour and capital can more easily move to the most dynamic sectors and firms, making the tax system more growth-friendly, and supporting innovation, basic research and young firms’ financing. This working paper relates to the 2016 OECD Economic Survey of Finland (www.oecd.org/eco/surveys/economic-survey-finland.htm). Stimuler la productivité en Finlande Il faut stimuler la croissance de la productivité pour améliorer le niveau de vie et de bien-être de tous. La productivité globale a reculé, principalement sous l’influence du secteur manufacturier, même si les services ont eu tendance à faire de moins bon résultats. Pour gagner en productivité, il faut améliorer encore les conditions générales de telle façon que le travail et le capital puissent être redéployés plus facilement vers les secteurs et les entreprises les plus dynamiques, rendre le système fiscal plus propice à la croissance et soutenir le financement de l’innovation, de la recherche fondamentale et des jeunes entreprises. Ce Document de travail se rapporte à l’Étude économique de l’OCDE de la Finlande 2016 (www.oecd.org/fr/eco/etudes/etude-economique-finlande.htm).
