Heads up—global economic expansion is hitting the brakes next year.
A major financial institution's latest forecast shows worldwide GDP growth dropping to 2.8% in 2026. That's a noticeable pullback from this year's 3.0% clip.
Why the slowdown? Three culprits stand out:
• Geopolitical tensions aren't going anywhere—they're still weighing on business confidence and investment flows • Core inflation remains stubborn, refusing to cool down as quickly as central banks hoped • The ripple effects from 2025's trade-policy chaos are far from over
For anyone tracking market cycles, this isn't just an abstract number. Slower growth typically means tighter liquidity conditions, which affects everything from risk appetite to capital allocation strategies. Worth keeping on your radar as we head into the new year.

2.8% rise? Sounds a bit dull, the aftershocks of the trade war are still causing a stir.

Are we going through this trap again? A 0.2% drop in GDP and everyone gets nervous, as if we've never experienced a Bear Market.

Again singing the blues about the global economy, I've grown tired of this trap.
