Global Outlook on Advanced and Emerging Economies
Summary
The global economy in 2026 continues to be shaped by overlapping shocks: the energy crisis triggered by the Russia-Ukraine war, renewed conflict in the Middle East, and a wave of protectionist trade policies that have redefined supply chains and geopolitical alignments alike. In this environment, domestic fundamentals alone are no longer sufficient to understand economic performance; growth, inflation, fiscal sustainability, and external balances are increasingly driven by energy security, trade realignment, and strategic exposure to global risk.
This report takes a broad comparative lens, covering Brazil, Indonesia, South Africa, Turkey, Taiwan, and Japan, alongside a special feature on the Middle East. By examining economies with different institutional structures, income levels, and geopolitical positions, we aim to offer a more complete picture of the risks and opportunities that will define the period ahead.
