On January 8, local time, the United Nations released the “2026 World Economic Situation and Prospects” report in New York. The report points out that the global economy has shown some resilience in a complex environment, but trade tension, fiscal pressure and rising uncertainty are continuing to affect medium- to long-term growth prospects. The report predicts that the global economic growth rate will be 2.7% in 2026, down from 2.8% in 2025. The United Nations pointed out that in 2025, supported by falling inflation and stable consumption, the global economy withstood the impact of a sharp increase in tariffs imposed by the US, but problems such as sluggish investment and limited fiscal space are still prominent, and the global economy faces the risk of a long-term slowdown in growth.
