Risk of Global Economic Recession Surges on US Tariff Shockwaves: Reuters Poll

Risk of Global Economic Recession Surges on US Tariff Shockwaves: Reuters Poll
Risks are high that the global economy will slip into recession this year, according to a majority of economists in a Reuters poll, in which scores said U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs have damaged business sentiment.
Just three months ago, the same group of economists covering nearly 50 economies had expected the global economy to grow at a strong, steady clip.

But Trump’s push to reshape world trade by imposing tariffs on all U.S. imports has sent shockwaves through financial markets, wiping out trillions of dollars in stock market value, and shaken investors’ confidence in U.S. assets, including the dollar, as a safe haven.
While Trump has suspended the heaviest tariffs imposed on almost all trading partners for a few months, a 10% blanket duty remains, as well as a 145% tariff on China, the United States’ largest trading partner.
“It’s hard enough for firms to think about July right now where they don’t know what the reciprocal tariffs are. Try and plan another year down the road. I mean, who knows what it looks like, let alone five years down the road,” said James Rossiter, head of global macro strategy at TD Securities.
Faced with heightened uncertainties and century-high duties on goods, many global businesses have either withdrawn or cut revenue forecasts.

Showing unusual unanimity, none of the more than 300 economists polled April 1-28 said tariffs had a positive impact on business sentiment, with 92% saying ‘negative’. Only 8% said ‘neutral’, mostly from India and other emerging economies.
Three-quarters of economists cut their 2025 global growth forecast, bringing the median to 2.7% from 3.0% in a January poll. The International Monetary Fund was a tad higher at 2.8%.
Individual economies surveyed showed a similar trend; median forecasts were cut for 28 of the 48 economies polled.
Among the others, for 10 economies the consensus view was unchanged and for 10, including Argentina and Spain, the view was slightly upgraded, based mainly on domestic developments.
China and Russia were forecast to grow 4.5% and 1.7% respectively, outperforming the U.S. Those median estimates were unchanged from last quarter’s survey.

However, growth forecasts for Mexico and Canada were downgraded from January by some of the largest margins, to 0.2% and 1.2%. Most of those revisions came in the last month.
The split for 2026 was nearly the same, suggesting the downtrend in growth expectations that started with Trump imposing tariffs is deep, and not easy to fix.
Asked about the risk of a global recession this year, 60% – 101 of 167 – said it was high or very high. Sixty-six said it was low, including four who said very low.
“It’s a very difficult environment to be optimistic about growth,” said Timothy Graf, head of macro strategy for Europe, Middle East and Africa at State Street.
“We could get rid of tariffs today and it will still have done quite a lot of damage, just strictly from the view of the U.S. as a reliable actor in bilateral and multilateral agreements ranging from trade to common defense.”
