SUMMARY:IMF’s New Report on the Global Economic Outlook
DESCRIPTION:IMF’s New Report on the Global Economic Outlook				\n		In it
 s latest report\, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) projects that Ira
 n’s and Germany’s economies will grow by 0.6% and 0.2% respectively i
 n 2025.According to the IMF’s autumn meeting in Washington\, Iran’s G
 DP growth is expected to fall sharply from 3.7% in 2024 to 0.6% in 2025. 
 This marks a significant downgrade from the IMF’s previous forecast\, w
 hich had projected 3.1% growth for Iran in 2025. The Fund now expects a m
 odest recovery to 1.1% in 2026. Inflation in Iran is forecast to rise fro
 m 32.5% in 2024 to 42.4% in 2025\, before easing slightly to 41.6% in 202
 6. Meanwhile\, the unemployment rate is projected to increase from 7.6% t
 o 9.1% in 2025 and remain unchanged the following year. According to the 
 IMF\, declining oil exports and weaker non-oil activity—largely due to 
 intensified sanctions\, including the reinstatement of UN sanctions—and
  the effects of the so-called “12-Day War” in June are among the key 
 factors behind Iran’s slowing economic growth.     As for Germany\, des
 pite large-scale planned investments\, economic growth for 2026 is expect
 ed to reach only 0.9%. The German economy is projected to emerge from a 0
 .5% contraction in 2024\, posting a modest 0.2% growth in 2025. Inflation
  is forecast to decline slightly to 2.1% in 2025 and continue easing to 1
 .8% in 2026. The unemployment rate is expected to stand at 3.7% in 2025 a
 nd 3.4% in 2026. The IMF notes that U.S. trade policies under President D
 onald Trump\, particularly higher tariffs\, are weighing heavily on the G
 erman economy. The report cites “heightened uncertainty on multiple fro
 nts and higher tariffs” as the “main drivers” of Germany’s weak g
 rowth outlook.
