The global economy slowed in 2019 and is now growing at below trend. This is mainly due to the slowdown in capital spending as the US-China trade war introduced significant uncertainty to business decision-making. It was also driven by the lagged effects from tighter financial conditions in 2018.
 

What we expect to see in 2020

  • The US economy will continue to do well, growing at close to trend
  • Emerging economies will do slightly better than the developed world
