The World Bank expects global GDP growth to plummet to 1.7% in 2023 after a tepid 2.9% in 2022. While the situation is expected to improve in 2024, global growth will still be just 2.7%.

The World Bank released its latest edition of Global Economic Prospects on January 10. The report is unequivocal in its prognosis of the global economic situation. “The crisis facing development is intensifying,” wrote David Malpass, President of the World Bank Group, in his foreword to the report. Here are six charts from the report that explain the situation in the global economy.
