The world economy has shown resilience amid turbulence. Yet growth remains subdued, far below pre-pandemic levels. Many developing economies continue to struggle with constrained debt burdens, limited policy space and exposure to intensifying climate shocks. Together, let’s navigate disruption & help put every country on the path to inclusive, sustainable & resilient growth. desapublications.un.org

The world economy has shown resilience, but trade tensions, geopolitical risks, & fiscal strains are clouding the outlook. Global growth is forecast to slow from 2.8% in 2025 to 2.7% in 2026, & inch up to 2.9% in 2027. #WorldEconomyReport is out now: desapublications.un.org
