Economic Buzz: World Economic Forum highlights tariff uncertainty

The World Economic Forum’s Chief Economists Outlook explores key trends in the global economy, including the latest outlook for growth, inflation, monetary and fiscal policy. It underlines the exceptional uncertainty of the current economic environment, highlights key drivers and impacts, and discusses the compounding effect of an ongoing AI revolution.

The global economic outlook has worsened since the start of the year, as rising economic nationalism and tariff volatility fuel uncertainty and risk stalling long-term decision-making. The growth outlook is divided, with weak prospects in North America, resilience in Asia-Pacific and cautious optimism in Europe as countries are forced to adapt to a new geoeconomic environment.
