AI investment propping up global growth: IMF
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) reported that global GDP growth is projected at 3.1% for 2026, bolstered by strong AI investment despite ongoing geopolitical tensions. However, risks such as rising debt and inflation pressures persist, with the IMF warning that a prolonged Middle East conflict could further impact growth. The next update will be in 2027, predicting 3.4% growth.
