China’s deflation deepens:
📉CPI down 0.1% YoY

📉 IMF slashes 2025 GDP forecasts amid tariff wars & rising uncertainty:

🌍 Global: 3.3% → 2.8%
🇺🇸 US: 2.7% → 1.8%
🇲🇽 Mexico hit hardest: 1.4% → -0.3%
🇷🇺 Russia the only upgrade: 1.4% → 1.5%

🔻 2026 outlook also revised down. Trade pain lingers.
A colorful infographic titled “Falling Growth Forecasts” shows how the IMF downgraded real GDP growth projections for major global economies between January and April 2025. It displays two sets of data points connected by sloping lines, highlighting the forecasted GDP percentage in January on the left and the April forecast on the right. China drops from 4.6% to 4.0% (−0.6), the world average falls from 3.3% to 2.8% (−0.5), and the U.S. drops from 2.7% to 1.8% (−0.9). Other countries like Canada, the UK, Japan, and the Euro Area also show decreases. Mexico shows the steepest fall, from 1.4% to -0.3% (−1.7), while Russia is the only country with a slight increase from 1.4% to 1.5% (+0.1). The graphic attributes the downgrades to century-high tariffs and economic uncertainty, referencing Trump’s new tariffs.

A comparative line graph titled "China vs U.S. Industrial Production Growth: Percent change from 2019 to 2024" shows the stark contrast in industrial output between China and the U.S. over the five-year period. The chart, sourced from the IMF April 2025 World Economic Outlook, features a red upward-sloping line representing China and a blue mostly flat-to-declining line representing the U.S. In early 2020, both countries saw a sharp dip due to the pandemic, with China falling to -14% and the U.S. to -17%. However, China’s growth rebounded rapidly, hitting +22% in 2022 and accelerating to +37% by 2024. In contrast, U.S. industrial output recovered to around -2% and remained flat through 2022 to 2024. An annotation on the chart notes that U.S. industrial activity has not fully recovered to pre-pandemic levels, whereas China’s has surged. The background includes stylized factories with smoke, visually emphasizing the industrial theme.

This chart titled 'Real GDP Per Capita Growth (2014–2024)' by Visual Capitalist ranks OECD countries based on their inflation-adjusted per capita economic growth from Q3 2014 to Q3 2024. Ireland tops the list at 70%, though this figure is skewed by multinational profit shifting. Excluding Ireland, Poland leads with 44% growth, followed by Türkiye at 42%, Lithuania at 38%, and Hungary at 33%. The U.S. shows 20% growth, while Germany, Austria, and Canada lag with 4%, 4%, and 1% respectively. Canada’s low growth is attributed to a 16% population increase, which reduced per capita productivity. The graphic uses green bars to indicate strong growth, transitioning to red for weaker performers. This OECD GDP comparison visually highlights regional disparities, with Eastern European nations generally outperforming Western economies. Ideal for understanding decade-long trends in global economic growth and per capita productivity across developed nations.
