IMF Cuts Global Growth Forecast to 3.0% for 2026, Citing War and Tech Headwinds

The IMF's latest World Economic Outlook projects global growth of 3.0% in 2026 and 3.4% in 2027, down from the 3.5% average in 2024-25, with cumulative figures largely unchanged from April 2026 projections. The downward revision reflects persistent geopolitical tensions and technology-related disruptions, though the report's full details remain partially summarized in this source. This signals a modest downgrade to the global growth path, reinforcing expectations of subdued economic expansion.
