Growth slows in EBRD regions amid fragmenting trade, investment
EBRD has revised downwards its regional economic forecast for 2025 by 0.3 pp relative to its September 2024 outlook. Growth across EBRD economies may now average at 3.2 per cent this year, before rising to 3.4 per cent in 2026. Rising geopolitical tensions have led to a sharp drop in trade and FDI between rival geopolitical blocs, centred around the US-led West and the Chinese-Russian-led East.
