Core Viewpoint - The OECD has revised down its global economic growth forecasts for 2025 and 2026 to 2.9%, reflecting increased trade barriers and economic uncertainty [1][2]. Economic Outlook - The OECD predicts that global economic growth will be particularly weak in 2025, with a global output increase of only 2.5%, and the U.S. economy growing by just 1.1% [3]. - The report highlights that the economic slowdown is concentrated in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, while China and other economies are expected to see smaller downgrades [3]. Inflation Trends - The overall inflation rate for G20 countries is expected to gradually ease from 6.2% in 2024 to 3.6% in 2025 and 3.2% in 2026, with trade barriers' inflation impact offset by falling oil prices and slowing economic growth [4]. - The U.S. is an exception, with inflation rates projected to be higher than previously expected, at 3.2% and 2.8% for 2025 and 2026, respectively [4]. Trade Barriers and Economic Risks - The report indicates that rising trade barriers and policy uncertainty are likely to further suppress global growth and increase inflation [7]. - The potential for increased tariffs by the U.S. could lead to retaliatory measures from trade partners, exacerbating financial market risks and reducing global demand for key commodities [7]. Policy Recommendations - The OECD suggests that countries should prioritize avoiding further trade fragmentation and barriers, advocating for multilateral cooperation to reduce tariffs and trade tensions [8]. - It emphasizes the need for cautious monetary policy to ensure public debt sustainability and to promote domestic investment and growth [8]. Investment Climate - The OECD's chief economist noted that investment has been declining since the global financial crisis, which hinders economic growth, and called for bold policy reforms to stimulate investment in the digital and knowledge economy [9].
