OECD | G20 GDP Growth Slows Slightly to 0.7% in the Second Quarter of 2026

GDP (Gross Domestic Product) in the G20 area grew by 0.7% in the second quarter of 2026, slightly down from 0.8% in the previous quarter, according to provisional estimates (Figure 1). This reflected a mixed picture across G20 countries for which data were available, with most recording a slowdown. Among G20 economies with available data, the contraction in Saudi Arabia deepened, with GDP falling by 4.8% in Q2 2026, following a 1.4% decline in Q1. This mainly reflected a sharp...

ECB | A New Age of Capital: Growth, Sovereignty and AI

Speech by Christine Lagarde, President of the ECB, at “Hofburg im Dialog – Economy, Europe, Resilience” in Vienna, Austria Vienna, 14 September 2026 Let me begin with a story that starts in this city.

Railways were pushing out across the empire. New banks and joint stock companies were being founded by the...

European Commission | The EU’s Plan to Grow Innovation in Europe

Europe has plenty of world-class research, talent and creativity. However, too often ideas originating in Europe are turned into economic success by others, elsewhere. This is because European innovators face barriers here and find it difficult to bring their ideas to life. As a result, the Commission proposed a new European innovation act to help Europe's most innovative ideas be developed, financed and scaled up in Europe. To strengthen the EU innovation system, the proposal will address two main challenges....

IMF | A World Seeking Balance

Surpluses and deficits reflect deeper choices about saving and investment across interconnected economies. More than 80 years ago, John Maynard Keynes centered his work on the persistence of global imbalances. The great economist tried to resolve what he described as the “secular international problem” at the Bretton Woods conference in 1944 through an international clearinghouse. But the conference’s final agreement included only a weaker set of remedies. Concern about imbalances has waxed and waned in the decades since, but has returned to the forefront...

      Curl Translations | The Cost of Getting It Wrong: Language, Translation, and International Business

      Translation is often treated as an enabling function of international business: necessary, sometimes complex, but ultimately subordinate to the legal, financial, and commercial decisions it supports. This view underestimates the extent to which language itself can shape those decisions. A translation may sit inside a merger agreement worth billions of dollars, determine whether an insurance claim is covered, affect the interpretation of a regulatory filing, or become the focus of a marketing controversy. A single word can alter a...
