Global economic resilience faces mounting pressure from geopolitical conflict, rising energy prices, inflation, and supply chain disruptions. The OECD’s March 2026 Interim Economic Outlook examines how instability in the Middle East, shifting trade policies, and financial market volatility are affecting economic growth worldwide. The report provides GDP and inflation projections for 2026 and 2027, highlighting the economic benefits and risks of artificial intelligence investment. It also outlines policy recommendations for governments to strengthen fiscal sustainability, manage energy shocks, improve public spending efficiency, support vulnerable households, and reduce dependence on imported fossil fuels while maintaining long-term economic stability.
