IMF’s Chief Economist, Pierre-Olivier Gourinchas who announced this yesterday in Washington DC, USA, while giving the fund’s global economic outlook, also downgraded the 2025 U.S. growth forecast to 1.8%, down from 2.7% projected in January, attributing the slide to the sweeping tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump and counter measures by trade partners.

The IMF’s Chief Economist said IMF has cut its worldwide growth estimate to 2.8%, down half a point from earlier forecasts.
