Group 1 - The core issue affecting global economic growth is the long-term decline in corporate investment, which has not recovered to pre-crisis levels after the financial crisis and COVID-19 pandemic [1] - OECD data shows that the median net investment of OECD countries as a percentage of GDP has dropped from approximately 2.5% before the 2008 financial crisis to 1.6% currently, with the pandemic further exacerbating this decline [1][2] - Only Israel and Portugal have exceeded pre-financial crisis investment levels, while only six countries, including Canada, Italy, and Australia, have higher investment levels than before the pandemic [2] Group 2 - Policy uncertainty is identified as a major factor discouraging corporate investment, with various global events such as trade policies, the pandemic, and geopolitical conflicts contributing to this uncertainty [2] - A study by OECD indicates that a one standard deviation increase in policy uncertainty could lead to a 1 percentage point decrease in corporate investment growth within a year [2] - If the current high level of uncertainty persists, global actual investment is projected to shrink by an additional 1.4 percentage points by the end of next year [2] Group 3 - Despite strong growth in digital and knowledge-based investments, there is a concerning trend of weak physical asset investment, leading to a continuous decline in the ratio of net investment to GDP [3] - Many companies are prioritizing shareholder returns, such as dividends and stock buybacks, over capital investments, which is evident in various countries [3] - A notable example is the UK water industry, where over one-third of the funds were distributed as dividends instead of being reinvested in infrastructure improvements [3]

Group 1 - OECD warns that weak corporate investment threatens global growth, with net investment in member countries dropping from 2.5% of GDP in 2008 to 1.6% in medium-level countries, exacerbated by the pandemic [1][5] - Only two countries, Israel and Portugal, have net investments exceeding pre-financial crisis trend levels, while only six countries, including Canada, Italy, and Australia, have investments above pre-pandemic trends [3][4] - Current average investment levels in OECD countries are 20% lower than expected based on pre-financial crisis trends and 6.7% lower than pre-pandemic levels [5][6] Group 2 - The weak corporate investment is attributed to multiple factors, with widespread policy uncertainty being a key reason, as companies face repeated shocks [6] - The chaotic tariff policies introduced by former President Trump have added hesitation for companies in making large expenditure decisions, leading to declines in investment across all major industries [6][7] - Despite lower capital costs post-financial crisis, companies have not pursued profitable marginal investments, instead opting to increase shareholder dividends, with UK water companies paying £83 billion in dividends, exceeding one-third of their £230 billion infrastructure spending over 30 years [6][7]
