Despite the weaker medium-term outlook, global growth in the first half of 2025 proved more resilient than expected. PARIS, Sept. 23 (Xinhua) -- Global gross domestic product (GDP) growth is projected to slow from 3.3 percent in 2024 to 3.2 percent in 2025, and further to 2.9 percent in 2026, according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) in its latest Economic Outlook released Tuesday. Despite the weaker medium-term outlook, global growth in the first half of 2025 proved more resilient than expected, particularly in many emerging-market economies. Potential triggers for weaker growth include further tariff escalation, renewed inflationary pressures, heightened fiscal concerns, and financial market instability. In the euro area, GDP is projected to grow 1.2 percent in 2025 and 1.0 percent in 2026.
