Globally, growth should stand at 3.6%, down -0.8% compared to January forecasts due in particular to the strong impact of the war between Russia and Ukraine. “Like seismic waves that travel from the epicenter of an earthquake, the economic repercussions of war are felt far beyond the region, primarily through commodity markets, basic goods, trade and financial links,” the report said.
