*Please note that this report only includes an Excel data file if this is indicated in "What's included" below
Report summary
President Trump’s reciprocal tariffs exceed our assumptions for the high-tariff scenario and pose significant downside risks to global economic growth. Uncertainties remain on how countries will react to the tariff hikes. Accelerating inflation, softening consumer demand, and increasing unemployment will hit the US economy. Tariffs will lead to a chaotic restructure of global trade and supply chains.
