The Conference Board's real GDP forecast for the Global Economy was reduced by 0.1 percentage point to 3.0% year-over-year for 2025 and was unchanged at 3.0% for 2026.
A number of economies saw changes to their outlook this month, but downgrades to the European forecast pushed the global growth rate slightly lower. Among Advanced Economies, the US is forecasted to grow the most rapidly over the next year. However, Emerging Economies (especially China and India) will continue to be the largest drivers of global growth.
