The OECD has raised its global economic growth forecast in its latest report, projecting 3.2% GDP growth in 2025. The organization highlighted what it described as “unexpected resilience” in the face of trade tensions and higher borrowing costs. The upgraded outlook reflects a more optimistic view compared with previous estimates, signaling gradual but steady momentum in the global recovery.
According to the report, global growth is expected to ease to 2.9% in 2026 before rebounding to 3.1% in 2027. The OECD characterizes this trajectory as “uneven but ongoing,” supported by relatively stable labor markets in several advanced economies, continued investment in infrastructure, and expanding technological development.
The organization cautions, however, that sustaining this recovery depends on avoiding further escalation in trade tensions and maintaining financial and monetary stability particularly in the major economies driving global growth.
