The International Monetary Fund predicts global economic growth of 3% in 2026 #Arabic_Business
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has cut its forecast for global economic growth in 2026 from 3.1 percent to 3 percent, citing lingering consequences of the energy shock caused by the US-Israeli war against Iran. The institution predicted that global inflation would reach 4.7 percent in 2026, adding that global economic growth is expected to increase to 3.4 percent in 2027 as tensions ease and the Strait of Hormuz gradually reopens.

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has again slightly lowered its 2026 global growth forecast to 3%, warning of the ongoing risks posed by the war in the Middle East and potential corrections in market expectations regarding artificial intelligence. The IMF stated that the global economy avoided a more severe contraction as a result of the war, with the driving force of demand in the technology sector helping to offset the decline in war-related energy supplies. Growth is expected to recover to 3.4% in 2027, but this figure remains below the average of 3.5% recorded in 2024 and 2025. #Arabic_Business

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) forecasts global economic growth of 3% in 2026, rising to 3.4% in 2027, citing continued geopolitical uncertainty and its impact on the global economic outlook.

The Fund also anticipates a slowdown in global trade growth to 3.5% in 2026 before recovering to 4.3% in 2027, predicting the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz by mid-July and a return to pre-crisis levels by March. 2027 The IMF stressed that maintaining financial stability and orderly adjustment will be key factors in addressing shocks in the coming period, with geopolitical risks remaining elevated until 2027

What is this event about?
This Market will resolve according to the estimate of the World GDP growth rate (Real GDP, annual percent change) reported by the International Monetary Fund in the World Economic Outlook Update released between the October 2026 and April 2027 editions of the World Economic Outlook, expected to be released in January 2027.
The relevant figure may be found in the table titled “World Economic Outlook Growth Projections” under “Estimate” in the row “World Output” and the column “2026”. Changes in the IMF’s World Economic Outlook reporting format will not disqualify a published figure from counting.
The GDP release will be made available here: https://www.imf.org/en/publications/weo
If no estimate of the 2026 annual percent change in world real GDP is released in a World Economic Outlook Update between the October 2026 and April 2027 editions of the World Economic Outlook, this market will resolve according to the published figure for 2026 annual percent change in World real GDP in the April 2027 edition of the World Economic Outlook. If no such figure is published by April 30, 2027, 11:59 PM ET, another credible resolution source will be chosen.
If multiple World Economic Outlook Updates are released between the October 2026 and April 2027 editions of the World Economic Outlook, this market will resolve based on the first such publication which includes an estimate of the 2026 annual percent change in World GDP. Projections of World GDP, however, will not be considered.
Note: data from the initial release of the referenced GDP report is what will be used to resolve this market. Data may be revised during the following release or as a part of the next estimate's publication, however any revisions to GDP report data made after the initial release will not be considered for this market's resolution.
Note: the resolution source for this market reports annual percent change in world real GDP to one decimal point (e.g. 3.3%). Thus, this is the level of precision that will be used when resolving the market.
