The Global Executive Summary signals that the War in the Middle East has shifted the global economic outlook, raising inflation risks and dampening growth prospects for 2026. Energy price volatility and supply chain disruptions are central concerns, with regions reliant on Middle Eastern energy facing greater exposure. Financial conditions have tightened, and uncertainty remains high. Our research provides corporate strategy teams with updated forecasts, scenarios for oil and gas prices, which regions are exposed to risk and what leading indicators can be monitored for early warning signals to stay ahead.

Please fill in the form to access our latest analysis and insights on the global economic outlook.

Key Takeaways:

− How will the Middle East conflict impact global inflation and growth? The conflict has led to higher inflation forecasts and lower growth projections for 2026. The baseline assumes only short-lived energy disruptions, but the risk of more persistent shocks remains.

− What are the risks and implications of energy price volatility? A prolonged crisis could see prices soar, causing broad cost increases, margin pressure, and potential recessions in vulnerable regions.

− What operational and supply chain disruptions should be anticipated? Shipping through the Strait of Hormuz has been severely disrupted, with a 96% drop in vessel transits, creating immediate risks for supply chains, especially for companies dependent on Middle Eastern routes.

− What leading indicators should be monitored for early warning? PMI data, commodity prices, and financial market signals (like credit spreads and currency movements) are critical for real-time monitoring. The “flash” PMI will provide the post-conflict read on global business conditions and should be closely watched for signs of further deterioration or resilience.
