The IMF forecasts global GDP growth to moderate to around 2.7% in 2025, down from the higher recovery rates seen in previous years.

The global economy is facing a more balanced growth trajectory, with major economies like the U.S. and China expected to grow at a slower pace due to continued challenges such as higher interest rates, geopolitical tensions, and ongoing supply chain adjustments. Advanced economies are likely to see subdued growth, with the Eurozone and Japan both facing sluggish expansion due to aging populations and lower consumer spending. In contrast, emerging and developing economies, particularly in Asia and Africa, are expected to lead growth, driven by strong recoveries in sectors like technology, renewable energy, and manufacturing. Overall, while risks from inflation, financial instability, and climate events persist, the global economy is expected to experience more balanced, moderate expansion.
