As the US and global economies head into 2026, growth remains intact, but the sources of that resilience are increasingly concentrated and fragile. According to PwC’s Annual Outlook 2026: Teetering Resilience, authored by US Chief Economist Dr. Alexis Crow, expansion continues—but depends heavily on a small set of forces that will be tested by shifting financial conditions, policy choices and geopolitics. PwC forecasts global GDP growth of 2.7% in 2026, broadly in line with 2025, reflecting continued resilience even as momentum remains uneven across regions. According to the**Energy Information Administration****,**residential electricity prices are forecast to rise by 4.2% in 2026, while **PwC projects** medical care costs will increase by about 8.5%, contributing to stickier core inflation and making the outlook more sensitive to monetary policy decisions. PwC forecasts 0.9% growth in the eurozone in 2026, supported by public investment in defense and digital infrastructure, continued disbursement of EU recovery funds, and softer energy prices. Emerging market and developing economies continue to outperform advanced economies in growth terms, and have generated strong investment performance across asset classes.
