Clouds have been gathering over the global economy and the horizon is only getting darker. In our latest Interim Economic Outlook, we revised down our forecasts for nearly all major economies and now project global growth to be at 2.9% this year and barely reach 3% in 2020. These would be the weakest growth rates since the global financial crisis.

Our latest interim Economic Outlook projects that the global economy will grow by 2.9% in 2019 and 3% in 2020 – the weakest annual rates since the financial crisis. This is in large part due to the ongoing trade disputes, and the negative impact they have caused.

With the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Paris Agreement, the international community made decisive commitments to transform development and address the global climate emergency.

Business leaders are recognising their role in addressing shared social and economic challenges – and that companies will face reputational risks if they do not act.
