First shockwaves of Trump’s tariffs are about to hit the world economy

“We have new growth forecasts we have noticeable discounts, but not the recession,” said Crystalina Georgiviva, Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund, on Thursday. “We will also see signs of inflation expectations for some countries. We will warn that high uncertainty raises the risk of stress in the financial market.”

What Bloomberg Economic says:

“The expectations of the International Monetary Fund tend to distort optimism during crises that are likely to be turbulent. In the four major crises we studied, the initial evaluation of the Fund for the immediate impact on global growth regretted 0.5 percentage points. However, the International Monetary Fund may reduce growth forecast for starting, and history suggests that the final strike will be worse.”
