How 2025 is unfolding: a global economic shift and the US facing challenges
The year began with a forecast of stagnation in inflation for the United States, while Asian countries expect to continue growing. The IMF forecast for the world was that the US would grow at a rate of 2.7%, while the global economy would expand at 3.3%, dragged down by Asia and emerging countries. However, early data from the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) indicated that the US economy contracted by 0.2% in the first quarter, a concerning sign for the global economic situation.
