Factors Affecting the Global Economy 

A rise in COVID-19 cases: 

More cases have been reported globally due to Omicron, a new COVID-19 variant, which has disrupted supply chain management. However, the worldwide vaccination campaign has decreased COVID-19 fatalities. 

Russia-Ukraine war:  

Global economic expansion will be hampered by a protracted conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Due to the war, trade and investment have suffered because Russia has been subjected to economic sanctions, and several major corporations have ceased operations there. 

Rising Inflation and Interest Rates: 

The inflation rate in developing and advanced economies have been rising, causing central banks to tighten monetary policy and raise interest rates to control price rises. However, a sustained rise in interest rates could push some economies into financial distress
