Various factors, including technological advancements, policy changes, and emerging industries, are paving the way for certain countries to emerge as economic powerhouses in the coming year.

The report titled, Navigating Global Divergencies also noted that global inflation is expected to gradually decrease as a result of tighter monetary policy supported by decreasing international commodity prices, from 8.7% in 2022 to 6.9% in 2023 and 5.8% in 2024.

In most situations, core inflation is predicted to decrease more gradually, with inflation not anticipated to reach goal again until 2025.
