Growth is set to accelerate next year to 3.7%, a 0.3 point upgrade. The IMF cited Saudi Arabia\u2019s fast-than-anticipated oil production hikes and Egypt\u2019s better-than-expected outrun in the first half of the year as the main drivers of the upgrade.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Major economies saw mixed revisions: <\/strong>The IMF now expects the US to grow 2.0% in 2025, a 0.1 percentage point upgrade from its July forecast, while Japan\u2019s 2025 growth got an upgrade by 0.4 percentage point to 1.1%. Meanwhile, the fund lowered its forecast for Canada\u2019s growth by 0.4 percentage point to 1.2%, and for the UK by 0.1 percentage point to 1.3%.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>China and India also see stronger outlooks: <\/strong>China\u2019s 2025 outlook stayed unchanged at 4.8% on the back of increased exports that the IMF says were unsustainable, pointing at the country\u2019s contracting real estate sector pushing its economy to \u201cthe edge of debt-deflation trap,\u201d Gourinchas noted. Meanwhile, India\u2019s growth forecast rose by 0.2 percentage points to 6.6% for 2025, while the 2026 growth outlook got a downward revision to 6.2%, from earlier forecasts of 6.4%.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Across the Atlantic: <\/strong>Growth in the Eurozone is now projected at 1.2% in 2025, an upward revision of 0.2 percentage points from July, buoyed by Germany\u2019s fiscal expansion and Spain\u2019s growing momentum. The IMF expects the area\u2019s growth to reach 1.1% in 2026, down from 1.2% in the previous forecast.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Trade remains a swing factor: <\/strong>The fund projects global trade volumes to grow 3.6% in 2025,, driven by front-loaded shipments ahead of tariff hikes. This front-loading effect will likely carry over into 2026, with trade growth forecast to rise to 2.3% \u2014 0.4 percentage point higher than the previous projection.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>AI bubble is a major downside risk<\/strong>: Growing investments in AI echo the dot-com boom of the late 1990s, Gourinchas said in a <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.imf.org\/en\/Blogs\/Articles\/2025\/10\/14\/global-economic-outlook-shows-modest-change-amid-policy-shifts-and-complex-forces\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">blogpost<\/a>. \u201dMarkets could reprice sharply, especially if AI fails to justify lofty profit expectations. That would dent wealth and curb consumption, with adverse effects potentially reverberating through the financial system,\u201d Gourinchas added.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The inflation outlook: <\/strong>Global headline inflation is forecasted to decline to 4.2% in 2025 and 3.7% in 2026, \u201cvirtually unchanged\u201d from July\u2019s or April\u2019s projections.
