Summary
After a tumultuous spring, policy uncertainties have subsided in the latter half of 2025 as growth continues to prove resilient. However, the global trade landscape is far from settled, and new uncertainties are rising.
Within our S&P Global Ratings’ Global Credit Outlook 2026, we present our latest macroeconomic and credit outlooks for the year ahead, including our base-case forecasts and key risks in an increasingly fluid and fast-changing world.
