Visa Inc. forecasts global GDP growth of 2.7% in 2026, a slight decrease from 2.9% in 2025. The company highlights that this steady growth masks significant structural transformation in the global economy, driven by accelerating adoption of artificial intelligence, evolving trade networks, and increased business investment. Notably, small businesses are outpacing consumers in AI adoption, with firms integrating AI experiencing significantly higher transaction growth. While consumer spending remains solid, Visa expects rising business investment to offset softer consumption, supporting stable economic expansion.
