World Economic Outlook Update, July 2026

<jats:p>Global growth is projected at 3.0 percent for 2026 and 3.4 percent for 2027, broadly unchanged cumulatively from the April 2026 World Economic Outlook. The outlook is uneven: The war shock is weighing on energy importers and vulnerable economies, while AI-driven demand is lifting countries integrated into the global technology value chain. Global disinflation has stalled. Risks are more balanced than in April, but downside risks from renewed conflict and financial market repricing persist. Policymakers should preserve price stability, rebuild fiscal space, and strengthen adaptability.</jats:p>
