The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) warned today, Wednesday, that the global economy, despite showing resilience to the trade policies pursued by U.S. President Donald Trump, still faces multiple threats that could affect its stability in the coming years.
In its latest report, the organization raised its growth forecasts for 2025 driven by several factors:
• Acceleration of early shipping globally
• Increase in investments in artificial intelligence within the United States
• Financial incentives launched by China to support its local economy
For 2026, the organization expects global growth to decline to 2.9% compared to 3.2% this year, with a noticeable slowdown in the U.S. economy, which is expected to grow by only 1.5%.
These forecasts come amid concerns about the impact of trade tensions, a slowdown in industrial production, and fluctuations in financial markets, necessitating more coordinated economic policies among major countries.
