The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development released its latest economic outlook report on the 23rd, raising the global economic growth forecast for 2026 to 2.9% from 2.8% estimated in June. According to the report, although the situation in the Middle East had an impact on the global economy and global economic growth slowed in the first half of this year, many countries still showed resilience. Sufficient oil stocks, additional energy supplies from outside the Gulf region, and support measures taken by some countries have mitigated the impact of the Middle East situation on the global economy to a certain extent. Meanwhile, the field of artificial intelligence continues to be active, driving growth in investment, production and trade.
