IMF Video: House Prices Skyrocket: What’s Driving the Global Surge
After a brief dip during the global financial crisis, house prices have been on a relentless rise. Over the past decade, prices across OECD countries have surged by 37% on average in real terms, with the United States seeing increases of over 50%. Meanwhile, only three OECD countries—Finland, Italy, and Korea—have experienced declines. 📈
These rising prices are putting homeownership further out of reach for many, piling pressure on the poorest and widening generational divides. Younger generations, struggling to get on the property ladder, are feeling the squeeze the most.

IMF Video: Birth Rates Drop Below Replacement in Most Countries
Over half of the world’s countries and areas—representing two-thirds of the global population—now have fertility rates below the replacement level of 2.1 children per woman. 📉
This demographic shift means populations in these regions are set to age and decline without intervention. The consequences? A shrinking workforce, increased pressure on pensions, and rising healthcare costs.
While some countries like Japan and Italy grapple with aging populations, others in sub-Saharan Africa face the opposite challenge—managing rapid population growth. Each region must find innovative solutions to adapt to these demographic realities.
