Russia-Ukraine war to hamper EU's economy, lower global growth


The Russia-Ukraine war, which has entered its second month, will impact the EU’s economy as well as lower the global economic growth in 2022. The United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) recently downgraded its global economic growth projection for 2022 to 2.6 per cent from 3.6 per cent due to the war and changes in macroeconomic policies.
