Full impact of U.S. tariff shock yet to come as growth holds up, OECD says
- The OECD raised its 2025 global growth projection to 3.2% on September 23, 2025, noting resilience in the economy's first half.
- This revision follows a June cut to 2.9%, driven by concerns over US tariffs, elevated policy uncertainty, and paused front-loading effects.
- The OECD highlighted that US tariffs rose to 19.5% in August—the highest since 1933—with inflation risks from higher food and energy prices.
- Chief economist Alvaro Pereira emphasized the US economy's global importance, noted a labor shortage in tech, and urged trade barrier reductions to boost growth.
- Despite the upgrade, the OECD warned growth will slow next year amid tariffs, policy uncertainty, softer labor markets, and risks to financial stability.
