The economic fallout from the Middle East conflict was contained by substantial oil inventories, additional supply from outside the Gulf region and government support measures. Continued strength in AI-related investment also helped sustain production, trade and growth. Global GDP growth projections see a modest upward revision for 2026, but are revised down in 2027 Global GDP growth is projected to be 2.9% in 2026 and 3.0% in 2027.
