The OECD has released a 'prolonged disruption' scenario warning that the global economy faces a spate of recessions if the Iran conflict continues into 2027. According to reports, the organization predicts global GDP growth will fall to 2.1% this year, a significant slowdown from the 3.4% growth recorded in 2025. This warning highlights the severe economic contraction and sustained inflationary pressure expected to stem from a protracted geopolitical conflict.
These grim projections arrive amid cooling growth in major economies, with US GDP growth rate hitting 1.6% in the recent quarter, missing market expectations of 2% per market data (as of May 28, 2026). Furthermore, inflationary pressures remain a concern as the US PCE Price Index was recorded at 3.8% annually, potentially limiting the ability of central banks to implement stimulus measures should the OECD's recessionary scenario materialize.
