IMF Warns of Economic Slowdown in Key Emerging Markets
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has released its latest projections for key emerging market economies and developing countries. The report predicts a significant slowdown in economic growth and varying inflation trends.
Russia's GDP growth is set to decelerate sharply from 4.3% in 2024 to just 0.6% in 2025, according to the IMF. This slowdown is expected to continue into 2026, with growth projected at 1%. Inflation in Russia is forecast to peak at 9% in 2025 before decreasing to 5.2% in 2026.
The IMF also expects a general slowdown in growth for emerging market economies and developing countries, from 3.5% in 2024 to 1.8% in 2025. Bangladesh's GDP growth is projected to decrease to 5.4% in FY26 due to political uncertainty and other risks. Romania's GDP growth is expected to slightly increase to 1% in 2025, while Mexico's projected GDP growth for 2025 is around 0.2%.
The IMF's report highlights the varying economic prospects for emerging market economies and developing countries. Russia faces a sharp slowdown in growth and fluctuating inflation, while other countries like Bangladesh and Mexico also face economic challenges. The IMF's projections serve as a reminder of the diverse economic landscapes across the globe.
