Central banks around the world have finally dropped the tough love act and started handing out interest rate cuts like tissues at a group therapy session. In the wake of post-pandemic whiplash, economic déjà vu, and enough geopolitical drama to make a Bond villain blush, 2025 became the year central bankers whispered, “It’s not you, it’s the interest rates.” As we hobble into 2026, the economic forecast looks more like a weather map drawn by toddlers—with AI riding high and geopolitical tension simmering like an unattended Instant Pot.

🏦 Therapy by Rate Cut: Central Banks as the New Life Coaches

2025: The year the global economy had a breakdown and central banks started lighting scented candles. Instead of doling out tough lessons via high interest rates, monetary policy went full hug mode. The goal? Reignite growth while pretending inflation was just a “vibe.”

Picture this: Economists shuffling into press conferences with hopeful faces while central banks, armed with spreadsheets and wishful thinking, chant, “We’re flexible!” It’s a monetary yoga session: stretch the bond market, breathe through the credit crunch, and manifest stable GDP.

But wait—2026 enters stage left looking like a chaotic sequel nobody asked for. Global growth is uneven (read: wealthy countries might survive, others fend for scraps), trade’s on a treadmill with a limp, and policy predictability is about as real as an honest crypto influencer.

Meanwhile, markets are tossing AI buzzwords like confetti while nervously side-eyeing a potential economic jump scare. Structural shifts in tech? Sure. But let’s be real—half of Wall Street still doesn’t know the difference between actual AI and ChatGPT’s cousin trained on Reddit.
