The International Monetary Fund said Tuesday that global growth in 2026 is expected to slow less than previously forecast, citing advanced economies’ resilience to war-driven energy prices. It cautioned that low-income countries remain vulnerable to the supply shock.
The IMF raised its 2026 global growth forecast by 0.1 percentage point to 3.1%. It expects growth to ease from 3.5% in 2025, then recover to 3.4% in 2027. Global headline inflation is projected to rise to 4.7% in 2026 before declining to 4.1% in 2027.
The IMF raised its 2026 global growth forecast to 3.1%, pointing to resilient economies and AI investment. High energy prices tied to conflicts are expected to weigh on growth, while the eurozone is forecast to expand by 1.1%.
Strong AI investment is expected to offset the energy shock from the war in the Middle East, allowing global real GDP growth to exceed 3% this year, the IMF said Tuesday. But downside risks are rising, and more countries are being left behind and exposed to mounting debt.
The Fund's revised outlook puts global growth at 3.1% for 2026; it attributes the stronger projection in part to AI investment counterbalancing the war-related energy shock.
The IMF warns that emergency oil stocks are dwindling and strained public finances could leave governments with little room to shield consumers from another price surge. Its outlook says global growth weathered the Middle East conflict better than feared, but further shocks could raise energy and food prices. It nudged its 2026 global growth forecast up to 3.1% and raised the UK forecast to 1.3%.
