The OECD officially reduced its forecast for U.S. economic growth in 2025 from 2.8 percent to 1.6 percent. This revision comes as the organization attributes the decline to President Trump’s tariffs, which have increased the U.S. import rate to the highest level since 1938. Understanding the link between tariffs and economic performance is crucial for investors. This data is vital for making informed financial decisions moving forward. Preparing for slower growth can help stakeholders position themselves wisely in the current climate.
