A survey of leading economists showed that the global economy faces a year of weak growth prospects, uncertainty caused by geopolitical conflicts, difficult financing conditions and the disruptive impact of artificial intelligence.

This survey was conducted on the eve of the start of the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum in the Swiss resort of Davos on Monday, and more than 60 of the world's leading economists from the private and public sectors participated in it, in an attempt to determine the priorities of policymakers and business leaders.

About 56 percent of those surveyed expect global economic conditions to weaken this year, with a high degree of regional variation.
