Well, there's the issue of Russia's war with Ukraine. The global economy cannot recover until all conflicts are put down to rest. This not only means armed conflicts between countries, but also trade wars. Once things are settled (albeit for a short period of time), the economy will begin to move in the right direction.


In my opinion —as someone living in Ukraine under constant shelling and in a collapsing economy—your argument sounds extremely naïve. Specific branches of the global economy are actually thriving during times of armed conflict. And the war in Ukraine is no exception; it's a clear example that proves this rule.

If the trade interests of the world’s largest economies weren’t a top priority, this war could have been stopped long ago. But too many major players benefit from it—players who are not directly involved in the war, who aren’t losing their people, their lives, or their health. That’s why they can afford to speak from a position of selfish interest.
They don’t need a ceasefire or an end to the war. What they need is a market for goods that are in high demand specifically during armed conflicts.
