Kiyosaki Predicts Economic Consequences in 2026

Financial author Robert Kiyosaki has made a number of predictions about the global economy in 2026. He believes that the petrodollar system, which ties global demand for dollars to oil markets, is driving instability risks and will lead to economic consequences.

Kiyosaki argues that the shift from gold backing to an oil-based system in 1974 has had long-term effects on the economy. He believes that these effects are now coming to a head, with inflation and geopolitical tensions over oil causing widespread financial difficulties.

He warns that millions of people will be at risk of homelessness or poverty due to rising living costs and debt. In his investment outlook, he has named bitcoin and ethereum as among the safest investments for 2026, citing their potential for protection against currency debasement and rising global uncertainty.
