Global economic outlook Q1 2023: turning point approaching
*Please note that this report only includes an Excel data file if this is indicated in "What's included" below
Report summary
The outlook for the global economy is improving. We don’t anticipate a synchronised global recession this year. But we do expect the economic slowdown to continue for several months before reaching a turning point in the second half of 2023. Opposing forces are at play in the global economy. China is accelerating while the US is slowing and Europe is entering a recession. We forecast global gross domestic product growth to slow to 2.2% in 2023 from 3% last year, before rebounding by 3.2% next year.
