The Transatlantic Economy 2026 offers the most up-to-date set of facts and figures describing the deep economic integration binding Europe and the United States. It documents European-sourced jobs, trade and investment in each of the 50 U.S. states, and U.S.-sourced jobs, trade and investment in each member state of the European Union and other European countries. It reviews key headline trends and helps readers understand the distinctive nature of transatlantic economic relations.
The transatlantic economy has entered stormy seas, buffeted by trade tensions, disruptive politics, ripple effects of conflict in Ukraine and in the Middle East, inflationary and cost-of-living challenges. Yet key sectors of the transatlantic economy are integrating as never before, underpinning a multi-trillion-dollar economy that creates millions of jobs on both sides of the Atlantic and forms the geoeconomic base from which each side of the North Atlantic can address trade disputes, disruptive politics, and geopolitical tensions.
The Transatlantic Economy 2026 explains U.S. and European trade tensions, interdependencies with China, international support for Ukraine and sanctions against Russia, major shifts in the transatlantic energy economy, how digital connections drive and transform economic ties; and why transatlantic commercial bonds matter for producers, consumers, workers, innovators, investors, and communities.
The Transatlantic Economy 2026 offers key and often counterintuitive insights into the role of the United States and Europe in the global economy that have important implications for policymakers, business leaders, and local officials.
