Abstract: The research was conducted on the dominant trends in the development of the global economy. To reveal the topic of the research, the author explored the theoretical concept of «development» through an analysis of relevant literature. In the article, the author proposes to examine key chronological events related to the global economyʼs development, starting from the onset of globalization processes worldwide. By analyzing historical events, the work reveals the economic processes that took shape at each stage of global economic development. The study confirms that globalization and the global economy are intrinsically linked and mutually influence one another. A chronological table of events related to globalization and the global economy is presented, offering insight into significant milestones in their development. The research further introduces the periodization of globalizationʼs formation and the evolution of the global economy. It is demonstrated that the transformation of globalizationʼs goals reflects a shift in the priorities and ideology of the global economy. Through the matrix approach, the study summarizes the complex set of challenges in the global economy, highlighting the most dominant ones.

The dynamics of developed and developing countries in 2010, 2020, 2022, and 2024 are analyzed to better understand the subject. The study particularly focuses on the Gross National Product (GNP) of the USA, France, and Japan, constructing trendlines to predict future growth. Based on the research conducted, the dominant trends in the development of the global economy are identified, offering a detailed look at economic patterns and their implications. This study provides a valuable understanding of the ongoing transformation of the global economy, allowing for the forecasting of future developments and challenges in the global economic system
