Top 10 Growth Opportunities in the Global Economy, 2025

Anticipate Modest Slowdown Amid Geopolitical Tensions and Tariff Disruptions; Public Debt Consolidation and Structural Reforms to Take Precedence

Following resilient performance in 2024, the global economy is expected to record a mild slowdown in 2025 as geopolitical tensions, uncertainty surrounding US policies, and weak Chinese and European growth prospects weigh on it. However, with interest rate cuts likely to gain pace in 2025 as global inflation levels converge with central bank targets, investor and consumer optimism and industrial productivity will record an uptick globally.

While regional divergences will persist in 2025, with emerging market growth outpacing that of advanced economies, an emphasis on decisive fiscal consolidation, debt reduction, structural reforms, and employment generation will take precedence. Industry players must insulate themselves from trade fragmentation and supply disruptions that are likely to occur following returning US President Trump's expected tariff and foreign policy shifts.
