Global economy shows resilience, but trade tensions and fiscal strains cloud outlook, UN warns

January 8, 2026--Declining inflation and monetary easing offer relief, yet subdued investment and lingering uncertainties weigh on global momentum.
Global economic output is forecast to grow by 2.7 per cent in 2026, slightly below the 2.8 per cent estimated for 2025 and well below the pre-pandemic average of 3.2 per cent, according to the World Economic Situation and Prospects 2026, released by the United Nations today.

During 2025, unexpected resilience to sharp increases in U.S. tariffs, supported by solid consumer spending and easing inflation, helped sustain growth. However, underlying weaknesses persist. Subdued investment and limited fiscal space are weighing on economic activity, raising the prospect that the world economy could settle into a persistently slower growth path than in the pre-pandemic era.

Why gold retains enduring value in an era of digital assets

December 17, 2025--For more than five millennia, humanity has been captivated by gold-the immutable metal that has illuminated temples, crowned emperors, and underpinned monetary systems. Its story is as much about economics as it is about psychology. Across the centuries, gold has functioned as currency, ornament, reserve, and metaphor-embodying the human desire for permanence in a world of change. In an age of crypto assets, artificial intelligence, and central bank digital currencies, its persistence raises a question both ancient and modern: Why does gold still hold value?
