Global economy outlook at odds with aggressive rate cut bets: Reuters poll

Global growth is set to stay resilient this year and only pick up pace a bit in 2025, according to a Reuters poll of economists, a stable outlook at odds with still-relatively aggressive interest rate cut bets in financial markets. Economists more broadly are optimistic, however, there will not be a resurgence in inflation now most central banks have got price pressures down close to where they want them. The Jan. 3-25 Reuters polls covering 48 economies showed economists forecasting global growth at an average 2.6% in 2024: not boom times, but not recession either.
