- According to information presented at a press conference by the director of the IMF's research department, Pierre-Olivier Gourinchas, global economic growth is expected to reach 3.3% in 2026. This figure exceeds the previously forecasted value by 0.2 percentage points.

Gourinchas noted that, despite existing trade tensions, the global economy demonstrates resilience due to the high adaptability of the private sector. It is also worth mentioning the positive financial conditions arising from the investment boom in artificial intelligence, as well as enhanced stimulus measures in several countries.

According to IMF forecasts, the inflation rate is expected to gradually decrease: from 4.1% in 2025 to 3.8% this year and to 3.4% in 2027.

However, Gourinchas pointed out the risks that remain relevant. One of the main issues is the high concentration of economic growth in limited sectors, such as information technology and artificial intelligence.
