Global economic growth has defied worst-case fears amid the Iran war, but a lasting peace remains crucial.
The global economy has demonstrated greater resilience to the ongoing US-Israeli war on Iran than initially anticipated, according to the OECD's latest interim economic outlook. However, the Paris-based organisation cautions that future economic prospects remain heavily dependent on achieving a durable resolution to the conflict. Growth figures have held up better than feared since hostilities began earlier in the year.
- The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development released its findings in an interim economic outlook report published from Paris.
- The ongoing military conflict involving the US, Israel, and Iran originally escalated in late February.
