Fading Optimism in Global, Iranian Growth

Fading Optimism in Global and Iranian Growth

The International Monetary Fund's latest World Economic Outlook, published in October, reveals a darker picture of global growth compared to last year.

Forecasts for 2025, once optimistic, now signal diminishing confidence and a generalized slowdown, largely due to the economic policies of Donald Trump's administration.

These factors have disrupted global supply chains and weakened investment sentiment, leading to lower growth projections for major economies like the United States and China.

Russia is expected to face one of the steepest declines, burdened by the prolonged war in Ukraine, while the eurozone, India, and the United Kingdom are anticipated to see modest improvements.

Despite weakening demand and lower oil prices, oil-exporting nations overall still face a relatively encouraging outlook.
