The International Monetary Fund says the global economy is losing steam as countries adapt to a new phase of trade tariffs, fiscal tightening, and policy adjustments.
In its latest World Economic Outlook released on Tuesday October 14, 2025 the Fund projects global growth to ease from 3.3% in 2024 to 3.2% in 2025 and 3.1% in 2026 — despite a slight upward revision from its April forecast.
The IMF said the global landscape has been reshaped by new policy measures, with some of the harsher tariff impacts blunted by fresh trade deals and temporary boosts in early 2025. But those supports—such as firms front-loading exports ahead of new levies—are now fading.
