Title:	Regions Matter: ECONOMIC RECOVERY, INNOVATION AND SUSTAINABLE GROWTH
Keywords:	Regional Development
Issue Date:	2009
Publisher:	OECD
Description:	This new perception of the role of regional policy is particularly relevant post-crisis at a time when issues such as green growth and eco-innovation are high on the agenda. Regional policies have a strong contribution to make to sustainable growth at the regional and national levels. But in order to maximise this contribution, public policy needs to embrace reform and continue a transition away from market-distorting subsidies to policies that unlock the potential of regions and that support long-term economic, social and environmental objectives. This is all the more crucial given the very limited resources that are available to national, regional and local governments and the tight fiscal constraints likely over the coming years. The research for this publication was presented to the 2009 OECD Ministerial “Investing for Growth: Building Innovative Regions” responsible for regional policy held at the OECD on 31 March 2009.
