The IMF's World Economic Outlook (October 2025) jobs global growth relieving to 3.1 percent in 2026, with sophisticated economies around 1.5 percent and emerging market and establishing economies just above 4 percent.

Public-sector financial investment and reform remain main to sustaining this trend. Policy measures targeted at attracting foreign direct financial investment, relieving foreign ownership rules, expanding capital markets, and supporting private-sector involvement continue to underpin non-oil growth and reduce the region's exposure to oil rate volatility. While hydrocarbons no longer control the development outlook, oil earnings are expected to play an encouraging role in 2026.
