Amid a combination of ongoing risks and emerging challenges, the global economy remained resilient in 2025. In its April 2026 World Economic Outlook (WEO), the International Monetary Fund (IMF) estimated that global output grew by 3.4 per cent in 2025, the same as in the previous year. Global economic expansion, in 2025, occurred in an environment characterised by persistent inflationary pressures, geopolitical tensions, and tariff uncertainty.
