According to our latest outlook, global growth will be 2.9% this year and barely 3% in 2020, the slowest projected growth rates since the financial crisis. In May, our forecasts were 0.3-0.4% higher. Among the G20, the economic outlook has been deteriorating fast for almost all economies in the group, both advanced and emerging.

Clouds have been gathering over the global economy and the horizon is only getting darker. In our latest Interim Economic Outlook, we revised down our forecasts for nearly all major economies and now project global growth to be at 2.9% this year and barely reach 3% in 2020. These would be the weakest growth rates since the global financial crisis.

The world economy has been weakening and, like other international organisations, we have revised downwards this year's macroeconomic forecasts. For 2019, the OECD expects global GDP growth of just 2.9%, six-tenths of a percentage point lower than in 2018 (3.5%).

The current global economic landscape is cause for concern. Our latest interim Economic Outlook projects that the global economy will grow by 2.9% in 2019 and 3% in 2020 – the weakest annual rates since the financial crisis. This is in large part due to the ongoing trade disputes, and the negative impact they have caused.

The SDGs are the most ambitious, challenging and complex policy agenda that the global community has ever attempted to deliver. To achieve the 2030 Agenda, governments need to coordinate, consult, and work across policy areas in unprecedented ways.
