This episode of our podcast, based on the World Bank's June 2025 Global Economic Prospects, reveals a turbulent global economy.

Global growth is projected to slow to 2.3% in 2025, the weakest pace since 2008 (outside of recessions), largely due to rising trade barriers and heightened policy uncertainty.

Emerging market and developing economies (EMDEs) face insufficient job creation and persistent poverty. We delve into Fragile and Conflict-Affected Situations (FCS), highlighting their severe economic tolls from conflict and escalating debt risks.

Urgent, tailored policies are crucial for global stability and growth.
