IMF Cuts Global Growth Forecast Amid Concerns Over Potential Recession Due to High Oil Prices
The IMF has lowered its global GDP growth forecast to 3.1% for 2026, warning of a potential recession if the Iran conflict persists and oil prices remain high. The U.S. is expected to grow by 2.3% due to AI investments, while China's growth forecast has been reduced to 4.4% due to higher energy costs and a weak housing market.
