What happened
The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) warned that the global economy's outlook is heavily dependent on a lasting resolution to the Middle East conflict. The organization noted that global economic growth was expected to be 2.9% this year, a modest upgrade from the 2.8% forecast in June. However, the outlook for next year was trimmed to 3%. Separately, British Finance Minister John Healey stated that the ongoing conflict was negatively impacting inflation, economic growth, and borrowing costs.
Why it matters
The OECD attributed the economic resilience to factors such as the release of global oil stockpiles and a sharp decline in energy imports by China. The organization cautioned that the recent resurgence in oil and gas prices posed risks for the coming months. This situation is compounded by the fact that the Middle East geopolitical instability drives energy shocks and inflation.
