Citing trade wars, the World Bank sharply downgrades global economic growth forecast to 2.3%
President Donald Trump's trade wars are expected to slash economic growth this year in the United States and around the world, the World Bank forecast Tuesday. Citing "a substantial rise in trade barriers'' but without mentioning Trump by name, the 189-country lender predicted that the U.S. economy - the world's largest - would grow half as fast (1.4%) this year as it did in 2024 (2.8%). That marked a downgrade from the 2.3% U.S. growth it had forecast back for 2025 back in January. The bank also lopped 0.4 percentage points off its forecast for global growth this year. It now expects the world economy to expand just 2.3% in 2025, down from 2.8% in 2024. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The price of dental implants may surprise you Dental Implants | Search Ads Search Now Undo In a forward to the latest version of the twice-yearly Global Economic Prospects report, World Bank chief economist Indermit Gill wrote that the global economy has missed its chance for the "soft landing'' - slowing enough to tame inflation without generating serious pain - it appeared headed for just six months ago. "The world economy today is once more running into turbulence," Gill wrote. "Without a swift course correction, the harm to living standards could be deep.'' America's economic prospects have been clouded by Trump's erratic and aggressive trade policies, including 10% taxes - tariffs - on imports from almost every country in the world. These levies drive up costs in the U.S. and invite retaliation from other countries. Live Events The Chinese economy is forecast to see growth slow from 5% in 2024 to 4.5% this year and 4% next. The world's second-largest economy has been hobbled by the tariffs that Trump has imposed on its exports, by the collapse of its real estate market and by an aging workforce. The World Bank expects the 20 European countries that share the euro currency to collectively grow just 0.7% this year, down from an already lackluster 0.9% in 2024. Trump's tariffs are expected to hurt European exports. And the unpredictable way he rolls them out - announcing them, suspending them, coming up with new ones - has created uncertainty that discourages business investment. India is once again expected to the be world's fastest-growing major economy, expanding at a 6.3% clip this year. But that's down from 6.5% in 2024 and from the 6.7% the bank had forecast for 2025 in January. In Japan, economic growth is expected to accelerate this year - but only from 0.2% in 2024 to a sluggish 0.7% this year, well short of the 1.2% the World Bank had forecast in January. The World Bank seeks to reduce poverty and boost living standards by providing grants and low-rate loans to poor economies. Another multinational organization that seeks to promote global prosperity - the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development - last week downgraded its forecast for the U.S. and global economies.

India is your next strategic hub, Goyal tells Swiss firms.
New Delhi: Commerce and industry minister Piyush Goyal has urged Swiss companies to boost investments in India, which he said was a burgeoning hub for manufacturing, talent, and innovation, his ministry said on Tuesday. Goyal, currently on a five-day official visit to Switzerland and Sweden aimed at bolstering economic and trade ties with the key European partners, chaired high-level roundtables with Swiss executives across critical sectors, including biotech, health, defence, precision engineering, and emerging technologies. According to the statement, Goyal's discussions centered on forging stronger synergies between Indian and Swiss enterprises. A particular emphasis was on facilitating innovation, technology transfer, and sustainable manufacturing practices, the statement added. Goyal also invited Swiss companies to expand their footprint in India, underscoring the benefits of tapping into the country's rapidly growing consumer base and skilled workforce. The visit, scheduled from June 9 to 13, is also expected to advance negotiations on the long-anticipated India-EFTA (European Free Trade Association) trade agreement. Beyond trade, Goyal's agenda includes exploring new avenues for investment in high-value sectors such as precision engineering, pharmaceuticals, and sustainable technologies, signalling India's ambition to attract sophisticated Swiss expertise and capital. "Goyal assured the leadership of India's unwavering commitment to fostering a conducive business environment through transparent regulatory processes, a robust intellectual property regime, and pro-investment policy frameworks," the statement said. "He encouraged Swiss businesses to explore India not just as a market, but as a strategic hub for manufacturing, talent, and innovation," it added. Goyal is slated to hold sector-specific meetings with global CEOs and senior officials from industries including life sciences and high-tech manufacturing apart from meeting Swiss federal councillor Guy Parmelin, Swiss companies, and Indian industry representatives to push forward discussions on the India-EFTA Trade and Economic Partnership Agreement (Tepa). Goyal's visit comes at a time when India is seeking to push forward stalled trade negotiations with several partners, including those under EFTA, amid a broader geopolitical push to deepen ties with Western democracies and reduce China-dependency in global supply chains. Switzerland, which has a major share of EFTA's total trade with India, is seen as a key player in finalizing a balanced and forward-looking Tepa deal. EFTA comprises Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland. "The Minister (Goyal) called on Swiss businesses to leverage the dedicated EFTA Desk at Invest India for handholding and facilitation support. He reiterated India's willingness to work towards regulatory harmonization and mutual recognition agreements, highlighting India's proactive stance on building reciprocal bridges to encourage Swiss and Indian investment," the statement said. "Swiss industry leaders across a diverse range of sectors—including biotechnology, precision manufacturing, healthcare, automation, defence, cybersecurity, and advanced materials—expressed strong confidence in India's trajectory as a global economic powerhouse and an innovation-led growth destination," it added. "Several firms indicated an active interest in forming joint ventures, scaling operations, and localizing production to serve both Indian and international markets," the statement said. "From cutting-edge cancer therapies and cell sciences to industrial automation, fibre optics, space technologies, and digital security, Swiss companies underscored their alignment with India's developmental priorities and sectoral growth plans," it added. After concluding engagements in Switzerland, Goyal will travel to Sweden, where he will co-chair the 21st session of the Indo-Swedish Joint Commission for Economic, Industrial and Scientific Cooperation (JCEISC) alongside Swedish Minister for International Development Cooperation and Foreign Trade, Benjamin Dous.

Canada to hit NATO defence spending target in 2025, five years early, marking shift from US reliance
Canada Prime Minister Mark Carney walks Chief of the Defence Staff, General Jennie Carignan and Minister of National Defence David McGuinty, right, as he prepares to make an announcement at Fort York Armoury in Toronto, Canada, on Monday, June 9, 2025. (Chris Young/The Canadian Press via AP) Canada will meet NATO's 2% defence spending target this fiscal year, five years ahead of schedule, Prime Minister Mark Carney announced. The move marks a strategic shift in Canada's defence posture, with a focus on modernising military infrastructure and reducing reliance on the United States. The government plans to invest in new equipment, boost troop pay, and explore European defence partnerships. Carney's announcement reflects growing geopolitical tensions and a call for Canada to assert greater independence on the global stage. Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Billions committed to military overhaul Ageing equipment and recruitment struggles Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads A strategic shift away from the United States NATO allies eye higher spending targets Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Turning to Europe for defence partnerships A new era of Canadian defence policy Canada will hit NATO's defence spending target of 2% of GDP this fiscal year, Prime Minister Mark Carney confirmed on Monday. The announcement, made during a speech at the University of Toronto, marks a major policy shift and accelerates the timeline by five years from the previous Liberal government's plan.'I am announcing today that Canada will achieve NATO's 2% target this year — half a decade ahead of schedule,' Carney said. 'Now is the time to act with urgency, force, and determination.'The government will inject CA$9 billion into defence this year, raising total spending to CA$62.7 billion. This includes CA$2.5 billion allocated to defence-related activities in other departments, such as the Canadian Coast Guard, which will now be integrated into the laid out a sweeping plan to modernise Canada's armed forces. 'We will invest in new submarines, aircraft, ships, armed vehicles and artillery, as well as new radar, drones and sensors to monitor the seafloor and the Arctic,' he military has long faced operational challenges. 'Only one of our four submarines is seaworthy. Less than half of our maritime fleet and land vehicles are operational. More broadly we are too reliant on the US,' Carney said.A large portion of this year's spending will go toward repairing broken equipment and improving pay and benefits for military personnel. The aim is to address a severe recruitment crisis and restore operational readiness.'We will repair and maintain our ships, our aircraft and infrastructure that for too long we allowed to rust and deteriorate,' Carney speech signalled a clear pivot in Canada's defence posture. He warned that the world is becoming more dangerous and that Canada must reduce its reliance on the United States.'In a darker, more competitive world, Canadian leadership will be defined not just by the strength of our values, but also by the value of our strength,' he criticised the evolving role of the U.S. under President Donald Trump. 'The United States is beginning to monetise its hegemony: charging for access to its markets and reducing its (relative) contributions to our collective security. We should no longer send three-quarters of our defence capital spending to America.'Carney also addressed the historical alliance. 'We stood shoulder to shoulder with the Americans throughout the Cold War and in the decades that followed, as the United States played a predominant role on the world stage. Today, that predominance is a thing of the past,' he said in added that after the fall of the Berlin Wall, the U.S. became the global hegemon and Canada's dominant trading partner. But that era, he suggested, is announcement comes as NATO allies consider raising the bar. NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte said last week that most U.S. allies support Trump's call for members to spend 5% of GDP on defence.'We are meeting 2%. And that is the NATO target as it is today,' Carney said at a later news conference. 'We will need to spend more.' He confirmed that discussions on increased spending and timelines will take place at the upcoming NATO is actively seeking to diversify its defence procurement. Carney's government is reviewing the planned purchase of U.S.-made F-35 fighter jets and exploring European alternatives.'We should no longer send three-quarters of our defence capital spending to America,' Carney reiterated. Canada is in talks with the European Union to join a broader EU initiative aimed at reducing security dependence on the shift aligns with a wider trend. Since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, European allies and Canada have ramped up investments in weapons, ammunition, and military rise to power was fuelled in part by his promise to confront what many Canadians see as growing aggression from the Trump administration. Trump's past remarks suggesting Canada should become the 51st U.S. state have stirred national outrage.'The long-held view that Canada's geographic location will protect Canadians is increasingly archaic,' Carney said. 'A new imperialism threatens.'As told to CNN, defence analysts have welcomed the announcement. Margaret McCuaig-Johnston, a senior fellow at the University of Ottawa, called it 'a long-overdue announcement' and noted the challenge ahead. 'This significant commitment is remarkable given how quickly they're going to have to move to make 2% by the end of the fiscal year,' she she cautioned that more funding will be needed to fully realise the government's ambitious plans.(With inputs from Reuters, AP)
