The global economy is projected to grow at a solid rate of 3% in 2025, according to a recent poll of 500 economists conducted by Reuters. This optimistic outlook comes amidst signs of resilience in the U.S. economy, which is expected to achieve a GDP growth rate of 2.8%. Inflation rates are falling sharply, contributing to a more favorable economic environment. However, the upcoming U.S. presidential election could significantly impact trade rules and economic policies, particularly if former President Trump returns to office. Trump's proposed tariffs are estimated to potentially reduce U.S. GDP by 1.4%, and a majority of economists believe his policies would be more inflationary compared to those of Vice President Kamala Harris.

In the context of global economic dynamics, India is emerging as the fastest-growing economy, with projections indicating a growth rate of 7.2% for FY25 according to the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). The International Monetary Fund (IMF) maintains a slightly conservative forecast of 7%, while the finance ministry estimates GDP growth between 6.5% to 7%. This robust growth is supported by fiscal prudence and effective monetary policy, alongside softening crude oil prices and stable foreign exchange reserves, which are expected to lower inflation to around 4.5% in FY25.

China is set to implement a substantial $1.4 trillion fiscal stimulus to bolster its recovery, while the expectation among economists is that interest rates will likely decrease by the end of 2025, providing further support to economic growth. This forecast aligns with insights from the World Economic Forum, which indicated that the global economy is stabilizing but remains vulnerable to various risks, including geopolitical tensions and high debt levels in advanced economies.

As of late October 2024, the U.S. economy continues to lead G7 growth, accounting for 50% of G7 GDP, while other G7 nations face recession risks and population decline. The IMF has projected world economic growth at 3.25% for 2025, despite significant risks such as falling house prices and defaults in China. The deteriorating U.S. public finances, with projected budget deficits of 6% of GDP, further complicate the economic landscape. The interplay of these factors, including the potential return of Trump and the implications of his policies, underscores the fragility of the global economic recovery.
