IMF raises 2025 global growth forecast on 'modest' US trade shock
- In its World Economic Outlook, the International Monetary Fund raised the 2025 global growth forecast to 3.2 percent, warning of lingering downside risks from trade uncertainty.
- US tariffs and sweeping trade measures, plus a threatened fresh tariff on China, have heightened trade uncertainty, while global inflation remains elevated at 4.2 percent this year and the war in Ukraine slows Russia's economy.
- Elsewhere in Asia, the IMF raised India's 2025 growth forecast to 6.6 percent and Japan's to 1.1 percent; it upgraded US growth prospects to two percent in 2025 and two point one percent in 2026.
- This year, the Eurozone's outlook has slightly improved with modest growth expected while Germany edges out of recession, France, Spain, and the UK show mixed paths, and Russia faces a marked slowdown.
- `The good news is that growth impact of the trade shock is modest so far,' IMF chief economist Pierre-Olivier Gourinchas told reporters, adding that the private sector supported growth amid an AI boom.
