Rates are raising important winds against the US economies. UU. And global, which leads to the International Monetary Fund to reduce its 2025 growth forecast.
The implementation of April 2 of President Donald Trump or the “reciprocal” rates have not only shaken the actions, the S&P 500 It has dropped 9% since the taxes were launched, but they have also triggered the countermeasures of other commercial partners.
“This is only a great negative shock for growth,” said the IMF in the executive summary of its world economic perspective in April 2025.
This new perspective includes a “reference prognosis” for global economic growth and inflation, based on AV data for April 4, including “reciprocal” rates, but excluding sub -nective developments such as the actuality of 90 days and the update on higher rates and higher exemption and update. Exemption and exemption and exemption and exemption and enderpion and exemption and enderpt. The IMF shared in January.
In its new projections, the IMF now requires a growth perspective of the United States or 1.8% in 2025, 0.9 percentage points of its January forecast.
The IMF also reduced its global growth forecast to 2.8% in 2025, a lower percentage point of view since its previous estimate.
“The announcement of the Rose Garden on April 2 forced us to get rid of our projections, almost finally at that point and compress a production cycle that has been common for more than two months in less than 10 days at the April Pierre-Ole-Ole-Ole-Ole-Oleier.

Higher inflation forecasts for advanced economies
