World Economic Outlook, April 2026
The latest report shows slower growth and higher inflation amid wars and elevated geopolitical tensions.
Global Financial Markets Confront the War in the Middle East and Amplification Risks
Global Financial Stability Report, April 2026
The April 2026 Global Financial Stability Report assesses elevated financial stability risks amid the war in the Middle East, highlighting how multiple amplification channels could test resilience - and why decisive policy action is needed to safeguard global stability.
Fiscal Policy under Pressure: High Debt, Rising Risks
Fiscal Monitor, April 2026
Driven largely by major economies, global public debt is projected to approach 100 percent of GDP by 2028, straining public finances amid rising interest burdens, mounting spending pressures, and the compounding fiscal fragilities of the Middle East conflict.
Managing Shocks and Transformations
The Managing Director's Global Policy Agenda Spring Meetings 2026

Getting to Growth in an Age of Uncertainty
Annual Report of the Executive Board 2025
The world is facing exceptional uncertainty. Major policy shifts are reshaping the global trading system and capital flows, increasing trade tensions and financial market volatility, and straining international ties.
