Factors Affecting the Global Economy

Russia-Ukraine war:  

A prolonged conflict between Russia and Ukraine will continue to affect global economic growth. Investment and trade have been adversely affected due to the war as economic sanctions have been imposed on Russia, and several big companies have stopped their operations in the country.  

Rising Inflation and Interest Rates:
