Allianz Trade: global economy "at three speeds", with AI, defense and energy leading growth

SAPO Notícias15 September 2026 at 18:10

Allianz Trade revealed a study this Tuesday, September 15, that classifies the evolution of the world economy as being "at three speeds". This phenomenon is characterized by the growing concentration of business growth in specific sectors, while others face significant difficulties.

According to the study, artificial intelligence, defense and energy are the sectors that stand out as the main drivers of current business growth. These three sectors concentrate an increasingly large share of global economic activity.

In contrast, several cyclical sectors face greater pressure on three main fronts: profit margins, financial liquidity and supply chains. This disparity between growth sectors and sectors in difficulty defines the current economic dynamics described by Allianz Trade.

Why this matters

The article shows readers which sectors are driving economic growth and which are facing difficulties, offering guidance for investment decisions and business strategy. The Allianz Trade analysis allows identifying important trends for those following the global economy.

Buying a used car? These signs can reveal it was already a TVDE

When buying a used car in Portugal, it is important to know how to identify if the vehicle was previously used as a TVDE (Uber, Bolt), as it may have accumulated more wear and tear than it appears. The main signs include high mileage compared to the car's age, inspections more frequent than normal (TVDE vehicles undergo annual inspection from the first year), unusual wear on rear seats and door handles, marks on the windscreen from mounts or cameras, and traces of old stickers. The law approved in 2026 reinforces the identification of these vehicles with anti-fraud elements. A former TVDE vehicle is not necessarily a bad purchase, but the buyer should adjust the price and condition assessment, always requesting the complete documentary history and an independent mechanical evaluation before closing the deal.
