The International Monetary Fund (IMF) recently slashed its growth forecasts for the US, China and most countries, citing the impact of US tariffs. It cut India’s growth forecast by 0.3 percentage points to 6.2 per cent from 6.5 per cent for the financial year 2025-26 and by 0.2 percentage points to 6.3 per cent from 6.1 per cent for the next financial year 2026-27. The IMF recently released its World Economic Outlook April 2025, in which the global growth forecast has been marked downwards by 0.5 percentage points to 2.8 per cent for 2025 and by 0.3 percentage points to 3 per cent for 2026 compared to this year’s January edition.

The report indicates that economic growth in the US is projected to slow to 1.8 per cent, reflecting a decrease of 0.9 percentage points from the earlier year’s forecast, primarily driven by increased policy uncertainty, ongoing trade tensions, and weakening demand momentum.
