There are other essential issues for 2026, as in 2025. Environmental destruction is set to get worse under existing policies.

The leading 10% of the global population's income-earners earn more than the remaining 90%, while the poorest half of the global population records less than 10% of total international earnings. Wealth the value of people's possessions was much more concentrated than income, or incomes from work and financial investments, the report found, with the wealthiest 10% of the world's population owning 75% of wealth and the bottom half simply 2%. On the other hand, the stock exchange of the Global North have actually expanded through 2025 and appear like continuing to do so, at least in the very first half of 2026.

The figure is up from $1.9 tn at the beginning of this year and comes as the S&P 500 climbed up more than 18 per cent in 2025. All these positive bets on financial properties are established on the forecasted success of makers of synthetic intelligence (AI) models providing productivity-boosting products for all sectors of the economy.

This has produced a broadening financial bubble that might rupture in 2026. Investment in AI data centres has surged by over 50% per year, while other forms of fixed and domestic investment are contracting. AI financial investment, and fiscal and financial relieving will drive United States development in 2026, but at the expense of increasing budget and trade deficits and inflation.

Of course, much of this increasing profitability is 'fictitious', ie based upon capital gains made in the stock exchange.

In Latin America, the tidal turn to the right could continue in elections in Colombia, Peru and above all, in Brazil, where an aging Lula faces possible defeat next October. Israel holds its general election also in October, 2 years after the Israeli destruction of Gaza and its people.

It is possible that Trump will lose his Republican majority in both the lower home and the Senate. That might cause the stopping of Trump's economic plans and ironically likewise his 'plan for peace' in Ukraine. In sum, economies will still broaden in 2026, if at a modest rate.

The underlying issues of: poverty and rising worldwide inequality; worldwide warming and climate modification; and increasing trade barriers and geopolitical conflicts; will stay.
