Global economy to slow down in 2019, impacting job growth and investments.
The world economy is slowing down due to trade conflicts, Brexit uncertainty, and a slowdown in China. Global growth will be lower in 2019 compared to previous years, but not sharply. The economy is expected to grow at a rate of 3.3 percent this and next year, down from 3.7 percent in 2018. Despite the slowdown, advanced economies will still be operating at high capacity, and unemployment will continue to decrease.
