WB raises its forecast for global economic growth in 2026

12:01 - 14.01.2026


January 14, Fineko/abc.az. The World Bank has improved its forecast for global economic growth in 2026 from 2.4% to 2.6%, especially increasing the estimate for the U.S. up to 2.2%.

ABC.AZ informs that growth is probably explained with surge in trade in 2025 and less impact from high tariffs, but the pace will remain lower than last year. The Bank warns of the risks of re-escalation of trade conflicts.
