The OECD’s latest report brings some much-needed optimism to the global economy! 🌍 With inflation cooling and markets stabilizing, the organization predicts a 2.9% global GDP growth in 2024—up from earlier forecasts. By 2025, this could rise to 3%, signaling a slow but steady recovery.
China Leading the Charge
China is set to be a top-three contributor to global growth this year, according to the OECD, with its economy projected to expand by 4.7% in 2024. Though this might dip slightly to 4.2% in 2025, it still outpaces many developed economies. For comparison, the U.S. is tracking 2.1% growth this year, while the Eurozone lags at 0.6%.
🌏 Asia Dominates: The region remains the engine of global growth, just as it did in 2023.
