Solid Growth, Rising Risks
The global economy will not be in a recession in 2026, but it is heading into a significantly more challenging environment. The International Monetary Fund forecasts global growth of 3.1% for 2026 and 3.2% for 2027. At the same time, the Fund expects global inflation to rise slightly again in 2026 before declining further in 2027.
What Lies Behind the Numbers
Even more important than the growth figure itself is how to interpret it: The risks to the outlook are clearly skewed to the downside. For companies, investors, and asset managers, this means that the central problem is not the end of growth, but rather an environment with less tolerance for error, greater vulnerability to shocks, and higher volatility.
Active risk management is taking center stage
During such periods, active risk management, liquidity management, and robust processes become increasingly important. Growth remains possible—but it must be managed within a more fragile global framework.
Especially in a more fragile growth environment, the 1000FTAD software stands out thanks to its combination of automation, ongoing market monitoring, and rigorous risk management.
