PARIS — The fallout from the war in Ukraine could cut global economic growth by “over one percentage point” in the first year after the invasion, the OECD says in a report.

The impact “if sustained” would produce “a deep recession in Russia, and push up global consumer price inflation by approximately 2.5 percentage points,” the group of developed economies says in its report.
