Play Video: World Economic Situation and Prospects (WESP) report - Press Conference | United Nations

“It's been a nervous time for the global economy,” a Department of Economic and Social Affairs (DESA) Senior official said. At the launch the World Economic Situation and Prospects mid-year report today (16 May), Shantanu Mukherjee, Director, Economic Analysis and Policy Division of UN DESA said, “It's been a nervous time for the global economy. In January this year, we were expecting two years of stable growth, and since then, prospects have diminished, accompanied by significant volatility across various dimensions. So now we are forecasting global economic growth at 2.4 percent for 2025 and 2.5 percent for 2026. This is the downward revision of point four percentage points each year back from what we were expecting in January.” He also said, “This is not a recession, but the slowing down is affecting most countries and regions. Among the most severely hit are the least developed countries whose growth prospects for 2025 have fallen from 4.6 to 4.1 which is a drop by a full half percentage point in just a few months. Now, that translates into a loss of billions in economic output for the most disadvantage of countries.” He continued, “With this most recent shock, their five-year cumulative growth since 2021 is expected to be over 1/4 smaller than it would have been had they just grown at the rate they were averaging before the pandemic. Now, these are growth prospects are compounding the challenges they already face, such as fall in ODA, limited fiscal space and high levels of debt. And many developing countries are also still grappling with high levels of inflation, even though this is gradually moderating in some countries.” He added, “At this point, the average effective tariff rates for the US around 14 percent which is about six times higher than they were at the start of the year. And trade policy uncertainty is a factor in itself. It remains elevated, having surged to its highest value in the last 10 years, multiple times higher than the previous week.” He highlighted, “With merchandise trade representing just over a fifth the world output, and US and China together accounting for about a quarter of total imports., there's no surprise that these changes reverberated across the world, and going beyond just tariffs, volatility and some rather unexpected co movements have happened in a range of economic and financial indicators.” He said, “The uncertainty makes it even more likely that investment growth across the world, which was already slowing from 3.5 percent in 23 to 2.8 percent in 24 will continue to fall. And just to relate it to something we're all familiar with for small and medium enterprises, for example, difficulty in accessing capital when most needed can be fatal, with long term impacts for those whose livelihoods depend on them. Often, these are women.” He reported, “Across the world, fiscal deficits are now increasing for a variety of reasons. Developed countries and other major economies can finance these deficits quite affordably, but for many developing countries, the fiscal situation is becoming increasingly challenging.” He also said, “But our forecast from the beginning of the year indicated that overall, the global economy was reasonably healthy, and we recognize also that when assessed in comparison to other recent shocks, such as the global financial crisis, we have a downgrade, but it's not as extreme. In the forecast that we will present in greater detail today, we are expecting that bilateral negotiations will lead to lower tariff levels, although these will not return to pre-February levels. However, despite this, an early and complete resolution of uncertainties would help individuals and businesses move forward with economic decision making with positive results in 25 and even bigger impacts in 2026.”

Play Video: Trump to Walmart: 'eat the tariffs,' don't pass them on to customers

President Donald Trump on Saturday said Walmart needs to stop “trying to blame tariffs” after the retail giant announced its products would become more expensive. Walmart’s CEO said the price increases were a result of Trump’s tariffs being “too high,” particularly when it came to Chinese goods. “We will do our best to keep our prices as low as possible. But given the magnitude of the tariffs, even at the reduced levels announced this week, we aren’t able to absorb all the pressure given the reality of narrow retail margins,” Walmart CEO Douglas McMillon said Thursday in an earnings call. Trump responded on Saturday, posting to Truth Social that “Between Walmart and China they should, as is said ‘EAT THE TARIFFS,’ and not charge valued customers ANYTHING. I’ll be watching, and so will your customers!” #CNN #News

Aseem Malhotra is a deeply controversial British doctor who has just been appointed as Chief Medical Adviser of the Make America Healthy Again campaign group co-founded by Donald Trump's health secretary Robert F Kennedy Junior. [Subscribe: https://bit.ly/C4_News_Subscribe] It makes him one of the US Health Secretary's most influential medical advisers - and that's alarming doctors and academics around the world, because Aseem Malhotra, like RFK JR, goes against mainstream, established opinion on many topics. Most controversially he opposes the MRNA covid vaccines, claiming they cause more harm than good, and wants to end their use in America, even though people are still dying with Covid around the world. In the UK hundreds of people are dying with covid every month yet Dr Malhotra claims the virus is no longer deadly. He also supports RFK Junior's decision to reinvestigate discredited claims of a link between vaccines and autism, amid alarming levels of vaccine scepticism in America, and outbreaks of deadly measles. For the latest episode of The Fourcast Krishnan Guru-Murthy talks to Dr Malhotra, but we also examine his claims and scrutinise them by hearing from Stephen Griffin, Professor of Virology at Leeds University - who is a leading scientist in Britain and believes claims being made by Dr Malhotra and RFK Junior are wrong.
