According to the Centre for Economics and Business Research, the world will experience a recession in 2023 as a result of rising borrowing costs intended to combat inflation.
High borrowing costs designed to combat inflation may push a number of economies into recession in 2023, which will affect the entire world
As per British consultancy’s annual World Economic League Table, the global economy passed the $100 trillion mark for the first time in 2022 but will stagnate in 2023 as policymakers continue their fight against rising prices.
Kay Daniel Neufeld, director and head of Forecasting at CEBR stated that it seems likely that the global economy will experience a recession next year as a result of the rises in interest rates in response to increasing inflation.

IMF issued a bleak projection in October, predicting that more than a third of the global economy will contract and that there is a probability that global GDP will rise by less than 2% in 2023
The study further mentioned that the fight against inflation is still ongoing. Despite the negative economic effects, it is anticipated that central bankers will remain steadfast in 2023. However, the cost of reducing inflation down to more manageable levels is a longer period of weaker growth prospects.
In comparison to the most recent IMF forecast, the findings are gloomier. IMF issued a warning in October stating that more than a third of the world’s economies will contract and that there is a 25% possibility that in 2023, when the global GDP will expand by less than 2%, there will be a global recession.
Even yet, as developing economies catch up to the wealthier ones by 2037, the global GDP around the world will double. By 2037, the East Asia and Pacific region would account for over a third of global output, while Europe’s contribution will fall to less than a fifth due to the altering power dynamics.
The CEBR utilises an internal model to anticipate growth, inflation, and exchange rates. It bases its predictions on data from the IMF’s World Economic Outlook.

China set to overtake US as world’s largest economy by 2036
Six years later than anticipated, China is now not likely to surpass the US as the world’s largest economy until 2036 at the earliest. That is a reflection of China’s policy of zero covid and the escalating trade conflicts with the west, which have hampered economic growth.
The CEBR originally projected the move would occur in 2028, but it was delayed to 2030 in the league table from the previous year. It currently believes that the cross-over point won’t occur until 2036, and it might happen even later if Beijing moves to annex Taiwan and is met with economic penalties in response.
“Economic conflict between China and the West would have considerably more negative effects than what we have already seeing as a result of Russia’s attack on Ukraine. Almost probably, there would be a quite severe global recession and a rise in inflation “claimed CEBR.
However, China would suffer much more harm, which might jeopardise efforts to steer the global economy.
Furthermore, it foresaw that India’s GDP will grow to $10 trillion in size by 2035 and rank third globally by 2032.
Over the next 15 years, the UK will continue to have the sixth-largest economy in the world and France will have the seventh-largest economy, but Britain is no longer expected to grow more quickly than its European counterparts because of “a lack of growth-oriented policies and the lack of a clear vision of its role outside of the European Union.”
Natural resource-rich emerging economies will see a “substantial boost” as a result of the role that fossil fuels play in the transition to renewable energy.
Further policy interventions are required to achieve the goal of keeping global warming to just 1.5 degrees above pre-industrial levels because the global economy is far from the $80,000 per capita GDP level at which carbon emissions decouple from growth.
