Overview

Despite the global economy outperforming expectations and avoiding a recession in 2023, a growth slowdown is expected in 2024 as tight monetary conditions, diminishing consumer confidence, weak trade prospects, and subdued housing sectors in key regions weigh on momentum.

However, with policymakers managing to bring inflation on a more controlled path in 2023, the narrative in 2024 will start to shift toward the reversal of synchronized rate hikes and the revival of growth and investment, particularly in advanced economies. Even as countries continue to face a volatile geopolitical environment and persistent regional divergences in 2024, it will be equally important for organizations to prepare for the tailwinds that will emerge from a pullback in interest rate hikes, receding price pressures, and steady policy support for growth industries such as transport and infrastructure, green energy, semiconductors, and automotive.
