The OECD lowered its global economic growth forecast for 2025 to 2.9%

11:15; 03 June 2025 year

The OECD lowered its global economic growth forecast for 2025 from 3.2% to 2.9% due to increased trade barriers and uncertainty in economic policy. Global growth is expected to decline to 2.9% also in 2026.

Despite the decline in inflation, it remains high in some countries, especially in terms of food. The introduction of additional duties may slow down growth, worsen household incomes and employment.

The high public debt of developed countries (average growth of 2.3% of GDP over two years) poses risks for developing countries. The OECD recommends avoiding further fragmentation of trade, reducing duties, and developing sound budget plans.
