We have upgraded our outlook for the Venezuelan economy, increasing our 2026 GDP growth forecast 4.1ppts to 8.3% y/y. This will be driven by moderate improvements in external investment and oil output over the next two years, which should reach 1.5mn barrels per day (bpd) at end-2027. This means our ...

Our 2026 growth forecast for Spain remains unchanged at 2.6% this month, as Q4 GDP came in line with our expectations. We expect Spain to be the fastest-growing major economy in the Eurozone again this year. The country continues to benefit from strong growth in services and employment, lower electr ...

We've upgraded our 2026 GDP growth forecast for Iraq by 0.9ppts to 3.3%, primarily reflecting base effects from the weaker-than-expected growth in 2025. Increased oil output following the easing of compensation-related production cut requirements also underpin the upward revision. Nonetheless, a ...

A jump in job layoff announcements and a slump in job openings has fueled another wave of anxiety over the health of the economy but we think this is misplaced, for now. Though GDP will rise more than its short-run potential, the net gain in employment will be minimal at best. This is mostly because ...

The Monetary Policy Committee voted to hold Bank Rate at 3.75% at its meeting this week. But the vote was unexpectedly tight, and the committee's tone was more dovish than anticipated. We still expect the MPC to cut again by the April meeting, but the door has been opened to move in March if the ...

India’s FY2026/2027 budget signals slower deficit consolidation than we expected, and we are wary of treating 7% as a credible estimate of the economy's medium-term potential growth. ...

Our outlook on the Ghanaian economy has improved over the past month amid a favourable external environment and improving monetary conditions. As such, we lifted our real GDP growth forecast for 2026 by 0.3 ppt to 4.9%. At the same time, we expect a faster pace of monetary easing in H1 2026 than pre ...

Economic momentum looks resilient, with activity still pointing to expansion despite the PMI's latest wobble. We expect economic growth to remain close to its recent pace through 2026, as lower inflation, easing interest rates, and softer global commodity prices lift household demand, while priv ...

We have kept our 2026 GDP growth forecast for Mexico at 1.4% as we now expect a weaker start to this year following the stronger-than-expected end to 2025. Our forecast is broadly in line with the consensus, but risks remain tilted to the downside as our outlook hinges on a successful renegotiation ...

Macroeconomic Outlook Report: Switzerland Summary Financial intermediation, real estate, and business activities contributed 27.6% to gross value added (GVA) in 2025, followed by other services (22.2%) and mining, manufacturing, and utilities (20.3%). In nominal terms, the three sectors are expected ...

We have kept our 2026 Czech GDP growth forecast at 2.2%, but think risks are skewed modestly to the upside. The economy grew 0.5% q/q in Q4 last year, in line with our expectations, resulting in a 0.9ppts carryover into 2026. However, growth remains mostly driven by consumer spending, with investmen ...

We've cut our 2026 GDP growth forecast for Ukraine by 0.5ppts to 2% y/y. We estimate GDP growth in 2025 likely slowed to 1.8% y/y, limited by the escalated Russian attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure. We estimate that the resulting energy shortages caused a 2ppts drag on growth in Q4 ...

We forecast Malaysia’s GDP growth will ease modestly to 4.3% in 2026. The effects of higher US tariffs will likely temper the economy's momentum, but strong electrical and electronic product (E&E) exports, driven by AI-led global capex, and resilient onshore data centre investment activity, ...

We've kept our 2026 GDP forecast unchanged at 3.8%, following the just-confirmed 3.6% expansion last year. The near-full set of Q4 data indicates that the economy has maintained its strong momentum, likely carrying this over into 2026. We consider risks to be skewed to stronger growth, with GDP ...

We maintain our 2026 GDP growth forecast for Vietnam at 7.4% y/y. Stronger public capex and the global AI-driven tech cycle are sustaining momentum. However, headline growth should moderate as consumption slightly eases and higher tariffs affect export growth. Overheating risks are present, especial ...

We maintain our 2026 GDP growth forecast for Indonesia at 5.1%. A recently-soft US dollar is helping to mask the rupiah's vulnerability; against most other major currencies the rupiah has continued to decline. Meanwhile, economic activity will be supported by policy amid uneven domestic demand a ...

We've kept our 2026 Hungary GDP growth forecast at 1.9%, after a 0.3% expansion in 2025. GDP returned to growth in Q4, but at a mere 0.2% q/q it undershot our and consensus call of a 0.5% q/q pick-up. However, improving sentiment and expected pre-electoral transfers supporting near-term spending ...

We raised our forecast for Singapore's GDP growth this year by 1.4ppts to 4.5%, down from 4.8% growth in 2025. Our revision reflects stronger-than-expected GDP growth in Q4 2025. Robust momentum could persist for some time, leaving the output gap positive. But a still-turbulent external environm ...

We've raised our GDP growth forecasts for Israel by 1ppt to 5.2% in 2026 and 0.5ppts to 4.3% in 2027. In our view, very solid underlying economic fundamentals will reassert themselves as the impact of the conflict with Hamas continues to fade. This will support a further easing in supply constra ...

Former Federal Reserve Governor Kevin Warsh has been nominated to succeed Jerome Powell at the helm of the central bank. The announcement doesn't warrant a change to our forecast, as it will be difficult for a single person to sway a divided committee in a more dovish direction. ...

Our 2026 GDP growth outlook for the UAE stands at 4.8%, with risks skewed to the upside. We expect weaker oil prices and production freezes will weigh on the UAE's oil GDP in H1, which we expect to grow by 3.6%. Additionally, input price pressures are being reported across the non-oil private se ...

We've lowered our 2026 growth forecast for Thailand by 0.1ppt to 1.5% this year, after an estimated 2% expansion in 2025. ...

We don't expect December's sharp drop in mortgage approvals to mark the start of a UK housing market downturn. December is a low activity month with a big seasonal adjustment, and this weakness will likely be revised away or prove to be a one-off. Mortgage affordability has improved signific ...
