Malgré une augmentation encore contenue des prix du pétrole, les dernières données suggèrent que la croissance pourrait subir un coup d’arrêt.
Trois mois après le début du conflit iranien, à quel impact peut-on s’attendre sur l’économie mondiale selon les différents scénarios géopolitiques, pour chaque zone ?

As the conflict in the Middle East enters its fourth month, markets remain highly sensitive to developments around the Strait of Hormuz—a critical chokepoint for global energy and commodity trade. We examine the implications for oil and gas markets, aluminium supply chains, and sulphur exports, alongside the effects on fertiliser markets and agricultural costs.

Join Oxford Economics for a practical look at recent enhancements to the Canadian Provincial and Territorial Model (CPTM) that make it faster and more flexible to add custom sectors to impact analysis.

Canada’s economy stands at a genuine inflection point.

The construction industry is entering a defining period as growth in activity shifts towards non-traditional asset classes.

The session will include a detailed view of developments in global travel activity since the outbreak of the Iran War, including insights into impacts on travel to and from the Middle East and wider global impacts.

Global industrial growth and our forecasts for 2026 have taken a hit since the onset of the US/Israel war with Iran. However, outside of the the Middle East and directly downstream chemical producers and refiners in Asia, negative impacts have been relatively muted so far.

As expectations on businesses continue to evolve across Europe, organisations are facing growing pressure from policymakers, investors, communities and regional stakeholders to clearly demonstrate the value they create locally.

Economic and social impact evidence is increasingly being used to support investment decisions, stakeholder engagement, ESG reporting, regional partnerships and long-term strategic planning. Businesses are now expected not only to show financial performance, but also to evidence how their activities contribute to jobs, productivity, supply chains and wider economic prosperity.

Connected global economy

In this webinar, we’ll explore our latest macroeconomic forecasts and scenarios for the global economy in the context of the Iran war. We’ll highlight where we still see opportunities at the country, sector, and tourism level, and which sectors and segments could be most exposed to downside risks this year.

In this webinar, we’ll provide our latest outlook for the global consumer landscape this year and an early preview of 2027. We’ll explore where consumer demand will stay most resilient, in what areas we’ve made the biggest downward revisions to our expectations, and how we think the energy price hit would affect spending at the geographic, category, and consumer level.

Adobe AI and digital trends

This webinar will explore how the rapid expansion of AI is reshaping cities and regional economies across Europe. Drawing on our latest research, the session will provide investors, analysts, and policymakers with our latest view on developments and what they mean for investment and consumer market strategies.

Iran conflict

We examine key insights from our Q2 2026 Global Scenarios Service and focus on the Iran war, exploring the potential implications of both a severe near-term energy shock and more persistent disruption in the event of the Strait of Hormuz remaining effectively closed over the coming 18 months.

The war in the Middle East has shut down the Strait of Hormuz, cutting off a quarter of global energy exports and sending oil prices surging. The clock is ticking on US tariffs following the Supreme Court’s February ruling, creating uncertainty for businesses and supply chains come July. In response, global trade patterns are shifting, economies are racing to diversify supply chains and deepen trade ties.

With capacity expanding and demand remaining strong, the session will provide valuable insight into how changing consumer trends are shaping the competitive landscape and influencing the future direction of the industry. This webinar will deliver actionable insights into one of the fastest-growing segments of global travel.

Recent geopolitical events have impacted global travel flows, both directly via airspace closures and more widely through pricing and sentiment impacts. This has raised uncertainty and magnified downside risks in the near-term.

What if migration stopped? Migration is a key driver of our demographic trends, and in our new Megatrends Scenario we bring it into focus for the first time, stripping out all future flows in our baseline from 2026 onwards to quantify what migration means for growth, living standards, and fiscal stability.

Small ship cruising sits in a unique position, bursting with opportunities to meet rising demand for more meaningful and intimate travel experiences.

Tourism Economics presents early- year insights into European travel trends. They will look at how the Middle East conflict and a challenging economy are expected to shape travel behaviour and what this means for European tourism in 2026.
