The OECD forecasts the UK economy will grow by 0.9% this year, but it cuts its outlook for 2027, according to reports. In the same set of forecasts, the OECD expects global economic growth to slow to 2.8% this year, down from 3.4% in 2025. While the UK growth figure indicates modest expansion in the near term, the revised longer-term projection points to weaker conditions ahead than previously expected. The reporting reflects the OECD’s broader assessment that economic momentum across countries is cooling, which can affect demand for exports, investment decisions, and overall employment trends. The sources provided do not include additional detail on the drivers behind the OECD’s changed UK outlook or the specific factors used to justify the 2027 downgrade. Overall, the coverage converges on the OECD’s headline growth estimate for the UK this year and its forecast of slowing global growth.
