Canada and Mexico growth forecasts have declined OECD

US President Donald Trump’s escalation will hit the world’s growth and increase inflation, predicted the OECD in its latest forecast.

It is forecast that Canada and Mexico will see the greatest influence as they have inflicted on them the most stringent tariffs, but the US growth is also expected to be impressed.

• This year’s Mexico is forecast to be 1.3% and reduced by another 0.6% next year, instead of growing 1.2% and 1.6% as expected earlier
• The US growth was also reduced, with a 2.2% increase this year, and in 2025, 1.6%, which is 2.4% and 2.1% compared to previous forecasts
