Global Growth Remains Steady in 2026 Despite Geopolitical Upheaval
London, Thursday, 29 January 2026.
Despite seismic shifts in the geopolitical landscape and aggressive new trade policies, the global economic engine remains surprisingly steady. Recent analyses from the IMF and Reuters indicate that global growth for 2026 is projected at approximately 3 percent, virtually unchanged from previous forecasts. This aggregate stability, however, masks significant regional divergence: while the U.S. and China are expected to expand by 2.3 percent and 4.5 percent respectively, the Eurozone trails with a forecasted growth of just 1.2 percent. Economists attribute this resilience largely to AI-driven productivity gains which are currently offsetting headwinds from trade fragmentation and high sovereign debt. Nevertheless, the outlook remains fragile; the stability of the 2026 economy relies heavily on the assumption that current trade truces hold and that AI investments yield tangible productivity results without triggering a market correction.

Strategic Analysis at Risk: Gabbard Ally Departs Amidst White House Friction
Washington, Thursday, 29 January 2026.
The Office of the Director of National Intelligence faces deepening instability following the resignation of the National Intelligence Council chairman, a key ally of Director Tulsi Gabbard. This departure marks the second leadership vacuum in the intelligence community’s top analytical body within a year, raising serious concerns about the consistency of U.S. strategic assessments. The exit coincides with reports of growing friction between Gabbard and the White House, exemplified by her exclusion from high-stakes operational planning regarding Venezuela—a move aides reportedly attributed to her non-interventionist stance. For global markets and geopolitical observers, this internal discord suggests a fragmentation in U.S. foreign policy execution. With Five Eyes partners already expressing hesitation over intelligence sharing, the administration’s inability to maintain a cohesive intelligence front presents a tangible risk to long-term geopolitical stability.
