The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has raised its 2026 global growth forecast by 0.1 percentage points to 3.1%, citing the resilience of the global economy in the face of higher energy costs and other shocks.
The global economy has shown resilience amid turbulence during the past year, including shifting trade policies – yet growth remains subdued and far below pre-pandemic levels, the UN said in a landmark report. The global economic output will be slightly below the 2.8% estimated for 2025.
