Global Recession Odds are 50/50 Citigroup Warns Citigroup analysts have recently indicated that the likelihood of a global recession is now almost 50%, exacerbated by rapid interest rate hikes by central banks aimed at combating inflation. This inflation spike has been attributed to the aftermath of the Ukraine conflict and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The analysts warn that the path to disinflation could significantly hinder growth, reflecting a grim outlook for global economic expansion over the next year and a half. Similarly, Barclays has highlighted the fragility of the global economy, projecting a slowdown to just 1% growth for developed economies in 2023, with the euro area expected to slip into recession by the end of the fiscal year. « Previous Article Next Article » Share This Article Choose Your Platform: Facebook Twitter Google Plus Linkedin Related Posts Weak U.S. Jobs Report Boosts Gold Prices As Many Speculate About Fed Rate Cuts READ MORE Markets on Edge: Continuing Coverage of Regional Banking Crisis READ MORE State Street Global Advisors Says Gold Could Reach $2,400 READ MORE Gas Prices Hit Six-Month Low: What's Driving the Downward Trend?
