The global economy has witnessed a sustained period of resilient growth as it enters the second half of 2024, driven by falling inflation and better-than-expected employment and private consumption. Short-term growth prospects, however, will be undermined by a still-high interest rate environment, while a potential cooling down of the labour market and growing political uncertainty would affect global business and consumer confidence.
As we hit the mid-point of 2024, there are two key themes to watch in the global economy, namely disinflation and divergence.
Global economic growth has been modest since the outbreak of the war in Ukraine and a surge in inflation in 2022. Although the outlook has started to brighten recently, ongoing tightened financial conditions and persisting geopolitical risks put a limit on the global recovery.
