The IMF predicts global GDP to grow 3.3% this year. An increase of just 0.1 percentage points on 2024 but that figure masks some significant regional variations. The US is predicted to see growth of 2.7% and the Eurozone of just 1%, while China is set to grow by 4.6%. This would represent a fall of 0.2 percentage points from last year.
