Global growth will expand at a solid if unspectacular pace of 2.5% in 2025, according to our forecast, driven by strength in India, emerging market economies and the United States. Global labor markets will continue to rebalance, and inflation will continue to stabilize as goods prices ease. Monetary authorities will also provide global economic support through less restrictive rates, which should support a greater risk appetite and business fixed investment in the year ahead. The primary risk to the global outlook includes a modestly slower growth rate if trade tensions between the U.S. and its major commercial partners escalate significantly.

Remote audits represent the future of the auditing industry, offering a blend of flexibility and efficiency that traditional methods cannot match. However, to fully realize these benefits, firms in the MENA region must adopt a strategic approach, prioritizing clear communication, robust data security, and continuous adaptation to regulatory changes. The digitalization of auditing processes has streamlined many aspects of the audit, but it also introduces new complexities. One of the biggest challenges is ensuring clear and effective communication between auditors and clients. The lack of face-to-face interaction can lead to misinterpretations, which may affect the quality of the audit. A survey by the Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA) found that 74% of auditors believe that communication issues are the most significant challenge in remote auditing .
