Global growth seen at 3.0% in 2026

Kristalina Georgieva, managing director at IMF, projects global economic growth of 3.0% in 2026 and 3.4% in 2027 in the July World Economic Outlook update.

According to Georgieva, the outlook is influenced by two major factors: the ongoing war in the Middle East and rapid advances in artificial intelligence. She emphasizes the need for policymakers to restore price stability, rebuild financial buffers, and enhance international cooperation.

Georgieva previously held discussions with Austrian leaders on global uncertainty and highlighted Austria's partnership with the IMF in a meeting earlier this year. She also met Andorra’s Head of Government to discuss economic progress and the benefits of joining the EU single market, as detailed in a separate statement. Both discussions focused on navigating economic challenges and fostering international cooperation.
