OECD lowers global growth outlook on trade tensions

In its latest report published on Monday, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) lowers global growth outlook on trade tensions, seeing stronger inflation pressures.

Additional takeaways

OECD trims 2025 global growth forecast to 3.1% from 3.3% and cuts 2026 to 3% from 3.3%.

Higher-than-expected inflation could prompt more restrictive monetary policy and spook financial markets.
