Back-to-back monthly falls in GDP demonstrate the extent of the underlying weakness in the UK economy. There are strong grounds to think that activity recovered in the last couple of months of 2025. But we see the run of poor data as vindication of our weak GDP forecast for 2026, which is at the bot ...

Our new oil price outlook paints a bleak picture for the Libyan economy. We've cut our economic growth projections because of the downward revision to our global oil price forecast, while our oil production forecast still assumes stable production over the forecast period. We now predict economi ...

We've kept our GDP forecasts for Ireland broadly unchanged at 13.3% growth in 2025 and a 0.6% contraction in 2026, with growth resuming in 2027 at 1.9%. GDP has held up well in recent quarters, including in Q3, following strong surges around the turn of 2025. Our forecast anticipates only modest ...

We expect the Spanish economy to grow by a robust 2.4% next year, again placing it as the fastest-growing major economy in the Eurozone. The country continues to benefit from strong growth in services and employment, and by being more insulated from global trade tensions than most of its peers. But ...

We’ve lowered our 2026 GDP growth forecast for Cambodia to 4.3% y/y as the tourism shock from Thai border tensions and softer exports will weigh on activity. Domestic demand should ease, but planned fiscal expansion will cushion the slowdown. Investment growth may be soft given the ongoing real esta ...

We kept our GDP growth forecasts for Portugal unchanged at 2.3% for 2026 and 1.7% for 2027, after a likely increase of 2% in 2025. Healthy income growth and record employment support the outlook for consumer spending, while increased spending under the EU's Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF) ...

We've kept our forecasts for Eurozone GDP growth unchanged at 1.4% for 2025 and 0.9% for 2026. But it would be wrong to interpret this a sign that underlying growth will moderate next year. The more representative measure excluding Ireland projects unchanged GDP growth of 1% in 2026 and 1.6% in ...

The Mozambican economy will make a modest recovery next year after violent unrest in late 2024 sent it reeling in 2025. Improved investor sentiment, a more favourable political environment, and the restart of mega gas projects will nudge economic growth rates higher in 2026. However, fiscal consolid ...

Since our last assessment, our outlook on Senegal has become less rosy. The country has been subject to two additional credit rating downgrades, and there is still no new arrangement with the IMF despite protracted discussions. Overall, we cut our growth forecast for 2025 by 0.2 ppt to 8.0%, and our ...

The German economy remains stagnant and we expect the year to end with yet another flat quarter. Growth should gradually pick up next year as fiscal support increases and we expect the economy to expand by 0.7%. However, recent data reinforce our cautious near-term outlook, as core orders continue t ...

We cut our 2026 GDP growth forecast by 0.2ppts to 2.3%, as this year’s expansion slightly exceeded expectations, with 2025 GDP now projected to grow 3.3%. We expect the economy to gradually lose momentum in Q4 due to a smaller contribution from net exports, implying less carryover into early next ye ...

Industrial production (manufacturing, extraction and utilities) is forecast to outpace economic growth in 2025, increasing by 6.8%, before easing to 2.9% growth in 2026. ...

We've raised our forecast for real GDP growth in the US in 2026 by 0.1ppt to 2.5% to reflect improved consumer spending. Growth in real disposable income, the key driver for spending anywhere in the income distribution, has slowed but will perk up next year. The surge in financial wealth has tak ...

South Africa's growth drivers are unlikely to change significantly over the short term. Accordingly, we continue to forecast an average real GDP growth rate of 0.4% per quarter over the next few years. That said, the higher growth outturn means that we have slightly increased our economic growth ...

Despite a lowered GDP growth forecast for Bahrain of 2.1% in 2025, growing momentum in the non-oil economy and an improving external environment has prompted us to raise our forecast for 2026 by 0.2ppts to 2.4%. ...

We've nudged our 2026 GDP growth outlook for Mexico down by 0.1ppt to 1.4%, in line with the consensus view. However, risks remain tilted to the downside as the GDP contraction in Q3 and a likely weak start to Q4 will provide a weak statistical carryover for next year. ...

Uganda's economy continues to demonstrate strong growth, with real GDP expected to rise by 6.5% in 2025, up from 6.0% in 2024. The healthy economic performance remains broad-based, supported by ongoing private sector activity and robust agricultural results. However, the timing of oil production ...

It's difficult to recall a time when the Federal Open Market Committee has been so evenly divided about the need for additional rate cuts than the upcoming December meeting. It’s a close call, but on balance, we expect the committee to vote to lower rates by 25bps. ...

We've raised our 2026 GDP growth outlook for Costa Rica by 1ppt to 3.4%, after an estimated 4.2% expansion this year. We expect private consumption to drive growth, supported by higher purchasing power as wage gains coincide with low inflationary pressure. A recovery in the tourism sector after ...

The media debate around whether the Chancellor exaggerated the size of the UK's fiscal repair job is misplaced, in our view. The bigger issue is that the deficit reduction plan is based on the unlikely prospect of a significant tightening in an election year and optimistic GDP forecasts. Markets ...

Our Emerging Market Risk Survey indicates an upward tilt in macro risks: upside risks to GDP and inflation are above their historical average, while policy rate risks are broadly in line with their average. ...

Zambia is favourably positioned to benefit from global commodity price movements. The simultaneous surge in copper prices and suppression of oil prices lifted the country's terms of trade in recent months. Private sector conditions continue to improve, underpinned by a firming demand-side econom ...
