(260326) -- PARIS, March 26, 2026 (Xinhua) -- This photo taken on March 26, 2026 shows an exterior view of the headquarters of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) in Paris, France. Global economic growth is projected to ease to 2.9 percent in 2026 from 3.3 percent in 2025, before edging up to 3.0 percent in 2027, the OECD said in its latest Economic Outlook on Thursday.
The report said that the evolving conflict in the Middle East will test the resilience of the global economy. A prolonged period of higher energy prices would add markedly to business costs, raise consumer price inflation, and have adverse consequences for growth. (Xinhua/Wu Huiwo)
