[UN Agency: Geopolitical Tensions Test Global Economic Resilience]
According to a report by Golden Finance on May 21, the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) released a report on May 19 stating that, supported by trade, industrial production in developing economies, and investments related to artificial intelligence, the global economy has shown a certain degree of resilience since the beginning of this year. However, escalating geopolitical tensions are testing this momentum. The report predicts that due to factors such as rising energy prices, transportation disruptions, market volatility, and increased demand for financial safe-haven assets, global economic growth will slow from 2.9% in 2025 to 2.6% in 2026. The risks faced by developing economies are particularly pronounced, as many countries not only need to cope with rising costs of fuel, food, and fertilizers but also face challenges such as exchange rate fluctuations, tightening financing conditions, and weakened investor confidence.
