The?UN Dag Hammarskj?ld Library?and the?Department of Economic and Social Affairs (DESA)?would like to invite you to an in-person event on the ¡°¡±.
As part of the Library¡¯s Insight Series, colleagues from DESA will present and discuss key findings of the UN¡¯s latest economic flagship report.
Geopolitical risks, continuing policy uncertainty and fiscal challenges cloud the global economic outlook. In 2025, a sharp rise in United?States tariffs unsettled the trade environment, but the world economy proved more resilient than expected. In 2026, global growth is expected to moderate as weaker international trade is only partially offset by continued support from monetary easing.
Inflation has eased considerably in most economies, yet rising cost of living continues to strain household budgets, exacerbating inequality. Risks of renewed supply disruptions remain elevated ¡ª stemming from conflicts, climate?related disasters, trade fragmentation, and geopolitical tensions ¡ª, adding to global uncertainty.
Presenters:
- Katarzyna Rokosz, Associate Economic Affairs Officer
- Sebastian Vergara, Economic Affairs Officer
Moderator: Sergio Pires Vieira, Economic Affairs Officer
Welcome remarks will be delivered by the Dag Hammarskj?ld Library.
Please join us in the Library¡¯s first-floor reading room?on?Thursday, 19 February 2026, 1.00 ¨C 2.30 p.m. EST!
