Moody's analyst: Global economic growth may slow to slightly above 2% this year

According to a report by Golden Finance, Stefan Angrick from Moody's Analytics stated that global economic growth may slow down from nearly 3% in 2024 to just over 2% in 2025 and 2026 due to uncertainty brought about by changes in US trade policies. The policy fluctuations in trade, fiscal spending, and immigration in the United States have disrupted the prospects for economic growth and inflation. New tariff threats, financial market volatility, and geopolitical hotspots are the main risks facing an already bleak outlook. Due to the highly uncertain outlook exacerbated by military conflicts, central banks around the world are acting cautiously in terms of policy changes. Due to increased uncertainty, planning becomes more complex, investment decisions and recruitment delays, putting pressure on businesses. Economic growth is slowing down and employment conditions are also weakening. (Golden Ten)
