Source summary In its interim outlook published on September 23, 2026, OECD projected global growth of 2.9% in 2026 and 3.0% in 2027. AI-related investment, production and trade support activity, while energy supply disruptions, higher prices and changes in tariffs and export restrictions increase uncertainty around costs and growth. These are forecasts based on assumptions at the time, not realized outcomes. TABS Company's business perspective When preparing 2027 business plans, assess profitability and cash flow under higher energy, logistics and procurement costs alongside revenue targets. Check investment demand among major customers, alternative suppliers and contract price-adjustment terms. Consider AI investment in phases, focusing on measurable workflow improvement and potential payback rather than deployment scale alone. This is an unofficial English translation of TABS Company's Korean summary and adaptation of an OECD work. The opinions and arguments expressed do not necessarily reflect the official views of the OECD or its member countries. In the event of any discrepancy, the original OECD work prevails.
