The global economy faces a bleak 2024, with growth slowing to 2.7%, the lowest since 2020, due to ongoing wars, high inflation, and continued interest rate hikes. The U.S. and China, key economic drivers, are both expected to see reduced growth, further dampening the global outlook. The U.S. growth is projected to drop to 1.5%, and China’s to 4.7%. The eurozone is also set for a slowdown, with just 0.9% growth anticipated. This paints a picture of a challenging year ahead, with significant risks of economic stagnation.
