About this data
Long-run economic scenarios (to 2100) are produced every 2-3 years to look at factors influencing the global economy that play out over many decades. Different vintages look at a different set of scenarios described in an associated publication. Selected series from these scenarios are available here for individual OECD, accession and G20 economies. A breakdown of the global economy by regions (following World Bank definitions) is also provided.
