Global economic growth is likely to slow to 2.6% in 2026, the UN trade and development agency announced on Friday. The figure represents a decrease from 2.9% last year, primarily attributable to the Middle East crisis's impact on energy supplies. Of this growth, Asia is expected to account for 59%, with India's economy expanding by 7.3% and China's by 4.5%.
