Moody's Analytics Projects Slower Global Growth Amid AI-Driven Economic Divergence
Moody's Analytics forecasts global economic growth slowing to 2.5% in 2026 and rising slightly to 2.8% in 2027, reflecting a 'K-shaped' recovery driven by an artificial intelligence (AI) boom benefiting some countries and industries. India is expected to remain the fastest-growing major economy despite moderating growth and losing some momentum amid geopolitical tensions, inflation, and trade disruptions. Risks from conflicts, energy prices, and financial market volatility could deepen the slowdown or trigger recession.
