Global growth is stabilizing, as inflation aligns more closely with targets and monetary easing supports activity. However, the global economy seems to be settling into a low growth rate, inadequate for fostering sustained economic development. Policy uncertainty, higher tariffs, geopolitical tensions, persistent inflation in services, and climate-related natural disasters further complicate the global outlook.
As the first quarter of the 21st century is ending, what is in store for the global economy? What are the key policies to manage uncertainty and promote growth? To navigate this next phase, join CGD for a discussion of these issues based on the World Bank’s January 2025 “Global Economic Prospects” report.
