*Please note that this report only includes an Excel data file if this is indicated in "What's included" below
Report summary
The global economy surprised to the upside in 2023. After a soft start to 2024, we forecast the global economy to grow at a decent clip again this year. To maintain momentum, it is imperative to accelerate investment as consumption growth moderates in major economies. With inflation retreating and interest rate easing imminent, the global economy is on course for a soft landing. However, the risk of supply shocks and policy errors linger – the emergence of either could derail global economic growth.
