The Global Economic Outlook 2025 | World Economic Forum

Nearly five years since the Covid-19 pandemic upended the global economy, growth is slow but stable, inflation has gradually declined in advanced economies and trade trends have turned positive. Despite this, there remain challenges such as high public debt burdens, ongoing geo-economic tensions and the potential impact of industrial policies on smaller countries. Given this landscape, what are the plausible scenarios for the global economy in 2025? Speakers: Tharman Shanmugaratnam President of Singapore, Office of the President of Singapore Kristalina Georgieva Managing Director, International Monetary Fund (IMF) Christine Lagarde President, European Central Bank Laurence D. Fink Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, BlackRock Faisal Alibrahim Minister of Economy and Planning, Ministry of Economy and Planning of Saudi Arabia Moderator: Sara Eisen Anchor, CNBC Follow The Straits Times on YouTube: https://str.sg/ytsub Turn on notifications 🔔 to stay updated. -------------------- WEBSITE ➤ https://www.straitstimes.com WHATSAPP ➤ https://str.sg/whatsapp TIKTOK ➤   / straitstimes   INSTAGRAM ➤   / straits_times   FACEBOOK ➤   / thestraitstimes   TWITTER ➤   / straits_times   TELEGRAM ➤ https://t.me/TheStraitsTimes PODCASTS ➤ https://str.sg/stpodcasts Video: World Economic Forum #straitstimes #wef25 #davos2025 #economy
