CURRENT AND FUTURE CHALLENGES FOR THE GLOBAL ECONOMY

The main feature of the world economy today is uncertainty, generated by a series of complex and interrelated challenges that will continue to influence global economic developments in the medium to long term. These challenges are driven by a range of economic, geopolitical, technological and environmental factors, each with significant implications for economic stability and growth, on the one hand, and for the very existence of life on Earth, on the other. By means of a descriptive analysis and with the help of information from the most recent and diverse sources, such as specialized literature, mass media and data from authorized institutions, the aim of this study is to identify the current and future challenges of the current stage of development of the global economy, in order to draw an alarm signal on all the dangers that may arise, but that can be removed by a series of concrete and immediate measures, such as: international cooperation, technological innovation and well thought-out economic and social policies. The originality of the study lies in the fact that we have access to the latest information on the current state of socio-economic development.
