Economists cited in World Economic Forum and IMF outlooks rank rising trade tariffs and a persistent cost-of-living crisis among the five largest threats to global economic growth over the coming year. Rising tariffs threaten to make cross-border commerce more expensive and harder to sustain. For businesses, higher duties can disrupt established supply routes and raise the price of imported goods. A prolonged squeeze on household purchasing power is also weighing on consumer demand. The outlooks cover the next 12 months. No country-level forecasts or details about the other three threats are provided.
