Global and U.S. Economic Growth to Moderate in 2026

This week, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) released its latest outlook for U.S. and worldwide growth for 2026. The general sentiment is that economic growth will remain positive next year, but it will moderate in the U.S. and most other countries.

GDP in the U.S. is projected to slow from 2.0% in 2025 to 1.7% in 2026. Headline consumer price growth in the U.S., also known as inflation, is expected to rise from 2.7% in 2025 to 3.0% in 2026 before moderating to 2.3% in 2027.

From a multifamily perspective, the higher prices for goods and services are a threat to rent growth bouncing back next year after a sluggish 2025.

The report also noted downside risks to the U.S. labor market in the near term, as well as reforms needed to boost housing supply and infrastructure.
