Global Economy: Issues to watch in the second half of 2025

About this episode

The episode discusses the economic dynamics of the first half of 2025 and their implications for the second half of the year.

As we enter the second half of the year, and after a first half marked in particular on the economic front by the tariff war initiated by the United States, we suggest that we pause and look back for a moment. This will allow us to understand the dynamics that have shaped our economies over the last six months. It will also help us to identify to what extent and in what way they will impact the economic outlook for the second half of the year. What scenario should we expect? Hosted on Ausha.
