Get ready for a grim economic outlook! The World Bank has delivered a sobering blow, drastically slashing its 2025 global GDP growth forecast downward by a significant 0.4 percentage points to a mere 2.3%. According to BlockBeats, this isn't just a minor tweak – it's projected to be the lowest growth in five years and the weakest in 17 years, excluding the major downturns of 2008 and 2020.
The news gets tougher for the U.S. economy, which is now expected to grow by a meager 1.4% this year, a sharp drop from the earlier, more optimistic prediction of 2.3%.
This revised forecast paints a stark picture for the global economy. The first seven years of this century are now projected to average a sluggish 2.5% global economic growth rate, marking it as the slowest decade since the 1960s!
In a clear sign of widespread economic deterioration, the World Bank has downgraded forecasts for approximately 70% of economies worldwide. This widespread revision underscores a significantly worsening global economic outlook.
