PARIS -- The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development upgraded its growth forecast for the global economy to 2.9% for 2024 from its 2.7% forecast late last year, although it pointed to the Red Sea attacks and a widening Middle East conflict as risks.
Global growth is expected to slow to 2.9% in 2024 from 3.1% in 2023, before bouncing back to 3% in 2025, the Paris-based OECD said in its Interim Economic Outlook released on Monday.
