But whilst the US economy powers ahead, the eurozone's growth is limping and global trade faces new headwinds. 📈 Global GDP growth is modest but steady, with projections of 2.8% in 2025 and 2.9% in 2026 ✅ Inflation is on track to meet central bank targets by 2025, supported by easing supply chain pressures and slowing wage growth 📊 Global trade shows mixed signals - rebounding slightly in 2025 but dipping again by 2026 as tariffs bite While advanced economies like the US remain resilient, the eurozone struggles to gain momentum. Emerging markets, meanwhile, show relative strength, but growth remains weak compared to historical benchmarks. Here’s how geopolitical uncertainty and shifting US policies could potentially reshape the economic landscape in the coming years 👉 https://brnw.ch/21wPt1h #globaleconomy #economicoutlook #globaltrade #inflation

However, these numbers hide a great deal of uncertainty. ⚖️ Geopolitical tensions in Ukraine and the Middle East could escalate, disrupting trade flows. The faltering of the Chinese economy - and Beijing’s reaction to it - has been one of the defining features of 2024 and could be again in 2025. Perhaps most notably, Donald Trump’s second term as U.S. president begins in January, following a campaign marked by ‘America First’ rhetoric and threats of tariffs. Each of these factors has the potential to upend global growth predictions. Yet, amid the turbulence, there are also reasons for cautious optimism. 🎙️ In our latest interview with Atradius’ Chief Economist, John Lorié, we try and make sense of a turbulent economic picture as the new year approaches, and discuss whether Trump’s threat of tariffs could actually boost trade in 2025 👉 https://brnw.ch/21wPj9p #tarrifs #globaltrade #tradewar #globaleconomy #economicoutlook

🌏 Is emerging Asia’s growth engine slowing down? For decades, Emerging Asia has been the world’s economic powerhouse, fuelled by a growing labour force, trade liberalisation and tech advancements. But cracks are starting to show. Ageing populations and a deteriorating global trade environment are slowing growth, especially in China. ⛅ Still, it’s not all bleak. India and most Southeast Asian economies are also benefiting from changing trade and investment flows, showing steady or even high growth rates. Strong exports and supportive monetary policies are driving short-term momentum, even as longer-term challenges loom. 🔎 The future? While demographic shifts and protectionist policies may slow things down, Emerging Asia is poised to maintain its powerhouse status, if it can adapt. 🔮 Curious about what’s next?
