On October 13, the IMF raised its global growth forecast for this year to 3.1%, up from 3% in July but below last year's 3.5%, while keeping its 2027 forecast at 3.4% and this year's inflation outlook at 4.7%. The agency said AI-related investment has partly offset the energy shock and trade tensions, though buffers such as fuel diversification and stock releases will be used up quickly. It expects the Strait of Hormuz to reopen in March 2027, while Gulf crude exports in September reached 88% of pre-conflict levels. Growth is uneven: 32 economies account for 95% of global growth, with Taiwan forecast at 10.7%, the US at 2.3%, the euro area at 1.1% and China at 4.5%. The IMF urged central banks to tighten enough to bring inflation back to target while preserving their independence.
