The IMF’s latest World Economic Outlook saw global growth projections revised upward to 3% in 2025, supported by preemptive corporate activity ahead of new tariffs, improved financial conditions, and fiscal boosts in major economies. Despite a forecast fall in global inflation, the US inflation rate remains slightly above target, causing investor caution. Key downside risks include further tariff hikes, geopolitical tensions, and policy uncertainty. Policymakers are urged to restore confidence, enhance predictability, and promote sustainable growth across developed and emerging markets.
