The global economy in five charts
you are currently viewing::The global economy in five chartsJanuary 13, 2026-The global economy demonstrated remarkable resilience in 2025 despite increased trade tensions and policy uncertainty. Activity was supported by a stockpiling of goods, strong risk appetite, and a surge in artificial intelligence (AI)-related investment. Global growth in 2025 capped a solid five-year recovery from the 2020 recession, but vulnerable emerging markets and developing economies (EMDEs) continue to lag behind, according to the Global Economic Prospects report. Global growth is set to ease to 2.6 percent in 2026 as several supportive factors wane, giving way to a slowdown in demand for traded goods and softer domestic demand in key economies. By 2027, growth is expected to edge up to 2.7 percent as earlier monetary easing supports domestic demand and trade recovers amid declining uncertainty. Source: worldbank.org |
