Global growth expected to slow to 2.5% in 2026

SAPO Notícias15 September 2026 at 16:07

Global growth is expected to slow to 2.5% in 2026, according to a projection by Allianz Trade. This slowdown represents a drop compared to previous growth rates.

The insurer points to investments in artificial intelligence as the main reason for this global economic slowdown. AI has been a determining factor in current economic dynamics.

Allianz Trade still anticipates an economic recovery in the following year. The projection indicates growth of 2.9% for 2027, showing a return to the growth trajectory.

Why this matters

The Allianz Trade projection indicates that companies and investors in the region face a more challenging economic environment in 2026, which may affect investment decisions and strategic planning. The global slowdown, driven by high investments in AI, suggests a reallocation of resources that could have implications for technological and traditional sectors. The recovery forecast to 2.9% in 2027 offers, however, a more positive medium-term outlook.
