Global growth is set to slow down, says Moody's

Business Nov 19, 2025

Moody's Ratings thinks the world economy will cool off a bit, with growth dropping from 2.9% in 2024 to around 2.5% by 2026-27.
Even so, emerging markets are expected to outpace richer countries, holding up pretty well despite big challenges like global tensions and climate disasters.

What's up with emerging markets?

Emerging economies have a lot on their plate—think US-China trade drama, local elections that could shake up policies, and climate issues they're not fully prepared for.
While US interest rate cuts might bring in more investment, political uncertainty and weaker credit in some countries could make things tricky for investors.
