The global recession fears that Mount Mount I will escalate US tariffs. In a comprehensive step of global growth outlook, US President Donald Trump has announced a 10% flat rate tariff on all imports and punitive tariffs on Chinese goods. This sudden escalation has disrupted global markets and has caused fears of a recession among more than 300 economists, according to a Reuters survey.
The survey shows that expectations for the 2025 recession are rising significantly. Over 60% of economists believe that the global economy is at a high risk of contraction, which reduces its most important economic growth forecast.
Companies are Preparing to Increase Costs.
Large retailers like Walmart, Target and Best Buy are hoping that consumers will hand over the increased cost of imports. Automakers Ford and Volkswagen warned that if no exceptions were made, the price of the vehicle could rise by thousands of dollars.
Luxury brands such as Ferrari and Hermes have also shown price increases in the US market. Even tech giants like Nintendo have allowed them to reevaluate their pricing strategies in response to new tariffs.
Seeing an Increase in Central Bank Growth
Another concern is inflation. Because tariffs increase prices without increasing wages or production, many central banks will miss the inflation target in 2025.
