Macro - Country Economic Forecasts - United States
We’ve lowered our 2025 GDP growth forecast for the US by 0.8ppts to 1.2%. However, this paints a brighter picture of how the economy will fare this year because this figure is flattered by a favorable base effect. We forecast average annualized GDP growth this year will be 0.5%, leaving the economy ... Read More

Analysis by Region - Emerging Markets - Kenya
Kenya has been hit by a 10% increase in tariffs on most of its exports to the US, notably apparel, which constituted 63% of Kenya’s exports to the US in 2023, as well as coffee and tea (14% of exports). Only a small share of Kenyan exports is exempt from the tariffs, including fuels (7%), ores, slag ... Read More

Analysis by Region - Emerging Markets - Mexico
We have cut our 2025 GDP growth forecast for Mexico by 0.7ppts from last month to near 0%, slightly below consensus of 0.3%. The economy edged closer to a technical recession in Q1 and the effects of the US trade war are still uncertain. We expect Mexico to experience a shallow V-shaped recession an ... Read More

Macro - Weekly Briefings - United Kingdom
Though President Trump temporarily suspended his administration's reciprocal tariffs on most countries this week, higher tariffs on China leave the overall effective tariff rate little changed from last week. And with trade policy uncertainty set to remain very high, we still plan to cut our nea ... Read More

Macro - Weekly Briefings - Emerging Markets
We think import price rises and import compression by the US are only the start of a negative chain reaction in global trade. As countries export less to the US, they will most certainly also import less from other trading partners as their income falls, magnifying the tariff shock. We find this ind ... Read More

Macro - Weekly Briefings - US
The Trump administration paused for 90-days the tariffs announced April for most countries. However, China wasn't spared as tariffs on Chinese imports were significantly increased. China has aggressively retaliated. ... Read More

Macro - Weekly Briefings - Eurozone
US President Donald Trump has paused country-specific tariffs above 10% for 90 days, which is welcome news for the EU given it had been slapped with a 20% tariff. But an effective tariff rate of 12% and possibly more if pharmaceutical products are added to the US tariff net represents a substantial ... Read More

Analysis by Region - Emerging Markets - South Africa
Considering South Africa's uncertain political environment combined with the backdrop of building global headwinds, our outlook for the South African economy has deteriorated. We have consequently made several changes to our baseline forecast to reflect increased stagflation risks. Real GDP grow ... Read More

Analysis by Region - Africa - Egypt
New shockwaves hit the global economy on April 2: President Donald Trump announced much higher than expected and wide-ranging reciprocal tariffs, intensifying worldwide trade and economic uncertainty. Egypt escaped relatively unscathed, with only a 10% baseline tariff on goods exported to the US. Ho ... Read More

Analysis by Region - Emerging Markets - Ghana
Ghana’s economic growth rate slowed to 3.6% year-over-year (y/y) in Q4 2024, resulting in a still-impressive expansion of 5.8% for the year. Although high-frequency data released in Q1 2025 suggests that price pressures remain a key drag on private sector activity, we believe prospects of price stab ... Read More
-
Analysis by Region - Emerging Markets - Nigeria
Financial markets are still reeling from President Donald Trump's bold tariff move last week. Commodity prices too have come under immense pressure. Although we think the global economy is likely to skirt a recession, a slowdown will strain oil demand while the recent decision by Opec+ to bring ... Read More
-
Analysis by Region - Emerging Markets - Burundi
We forecast the economy to expand by 3.9% in 2025, driven by further expected gains in gold and coffee prices – both vital commodities to the domestic economy. Gold prices have already surged by 38.2% y/y in Q1, fuelled by heightened geopolitical tensions. Arabica coffee prices rose by 88.4% y/y ove ... Read More

Analysis by Region - Emerging Markets - Benin
Benin’s economy has been on a strong growth trajectory, with our estimates suggesting growth reached 6.5% last year. Infrastructure investment, industrialisation, and agricultural development have sustained high growth since the start of the decade. Investor confidence is increasing, as evidenced by ... Read More
-
Analysis by Region - Emerging Markets - Comoros
We forecast the Comorian economy to grow by 4.1% in 2025, continuing its decent economic performance over the past few years. Short- to medium-term economic growth is anticipated to be primarily driven by real private consumption. We have raised our forecast for average real GDP growth between 2026 ... Read More

Analysis by Region - MENA
We've raised our 2025 GDP growth forecast for Iraq to 1.2% to reflect the recalibration of our measurement scopes for Iraq's non-oil activities to better align with official data releases. Our upward revision was also driven by our better expectations for this year's oil production due t ... Read More

Macro - Country Economic Forecasts - Qatar
We have raised our 2025 GDP growth forecast for Qatar by 0.5ppts to 2.6% and continue to expect growth will pick up to 5% in 2026. The upgrade to our near-term outlook reflects better-than-expected growth at the end of 2024 and positive activity indicators since the start of this year. Meanwhile, bu ... Read More
-
Macro - Country Economic Forecasts - Belgium
We forecast Belgium's economy will expand by 1.1% this year and 1.6% in 2026 as tight monetary policy unwinds and manufacturing recovers. However, tariffs and trade uncertainty will limit growth. We expect inflation will average 2.1% in 2025 and 1.7% in 2026, with tariffs hindering the disinflat ... Read More
-
Macro - Country Economic Forecasts - Colombia
We have lowered our 2025 GDP growth forecast for Colombia by 0.1ppt to 2%. Positive momentum in activity continued in January, suggesting domestic demand was strong. However, heightened global economic uncertainty due to US tariffs and instability in the Middle East could cool investment. This comes ... Read More
-
Analysis by Region - Emerging Markets - Ukraine
Despite Donald Trump's efforts, a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine remains elusive, with Russia so far rejecting the proposed 30-day partial ceasefire by making it conditional on sanctions relief. Even if achieved, this type of ceasefire would be largely symbolic. We therefore base our Ukrai ... Read More

Analysis by Region - MENA
We've raised our 2025 GDP growth forecast for Kuwait by 1ppt to 3.3% to reflect our more optimistic outlooks on both oil production and non-oil sector growth. OPEC+'s announcement of an earlier-than-expected unwinding schedule of oil production cuts and the recent approval of Kuwait's de ... Read More
-
Analysis by Region - Emerging Markets - Hungary
We've nudged up our GDP growth forecasts for Hungary by 0.1ppt to 1.6% for 2025 and 3.3% for 2026. Still, we think that looming US tariffs and weak external demand will weigh on growth in the near term. But the solid pre-electoral stimulus will support activity in Hungary later this year, and th ... Read More
-
Analysis by Region - Emerging Markets - Romania
We've cut our 2025 GDP growth forecast for Romania by 0.5ppts to 2.1%. This reflects our view that delays stemming from the presidential election re-run and a larger-than-expected deficit at the start of this year mean that the government will have to implement additional consolidation measures ...

Macro - Country Economic Forecasts - Czech Republic
We have kept our GDP growth forecast for the Czech Republic unchanged at 2.3% in 2025 and 2.7% in 2026. However, we will likely upgrade our outlook, particularly over the medium term, in light of the nascent German fiscal stimulus. This is expected to generate both positive and negative spillovers f ... Read More
-
Analysis by Region - Emerging Markets - Chile
We have revised our 2025 GDP growth forecast for Chile down by 0.1ppt to 2.4% y/y, driven by a downward revision to investment amid the global uncertainty. However, we believe the impact of the international outlook will be more pronounced next year, prompting a larger reduction in our 2026 forecast ... Read More
-
Analysis by Region - Emerging Markets - Indonesia
We maintain our forecast that Indonesia's GDP will grow by 5% this year, sustaining its steady growth trajectory. Although risks to growth are skewed to the downside, economic activity is likely to be supported by a more accommodative monetary policy, as inflation is expected to remain within th ... Read More
