Invoking the Kosovo war in a column about respecting UN authorisation - while omitting that the intervention itself lacked UN approval and breached the UN Charter - is quite a way to teach “lessons of history".
If we are now looking at an average of $85 a barrel for oil for 2026 then that could shave off around 0.3-0.4pp from global growth. Headline inflation could rise by 60 bps. Before the Iran conflict global growth was projected at 3.3% for 2026 on the assumption oil would average $65 a barrel.
