The PEU forecasts that gross domestic product (GDP) will grow by 5.3 percent in 2025,down just 0.3 percentage points compared to the average for 2023-2024. This is thanks to a robust job market,stable and low inflation,and supportive fiscal and monetary policies,which are helping offset strong headwinds caused by increasing trade barriers and greater financial market volatility.
