2025 Growth Outlook: Navigating U.S. Resilience and Global Opportunities

The economic outlook for late 2025 highlights the United States continued solid performance, with growth consistently exceeding expectations throughout the year. Gross domestic product (GDP) expanded by approximately 3.8% in the second quarter, and, should current trends persist, may approach 4% in the third quarter. While full-year US growth is projected to moderate to a range of 1.7% to 2%, this remains ahead of many earlier projections, particularly considering ongoing challenges such as tariffs and changes in the labor market. Business investment and consumer sentiment remain resilient, supporting the technology, homebuilding, and industrial sectors. It is important to note, however, that as policy settings shift and global uncertainties continue, economic growth may slow in subsequent quarters. Forward-looking statements such as these are based on current assumptions and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially.

Globally, the US continues to lead among developed economies, though several other regions also exhibit notable strengths:

In Asia, India’s economy is expected to maintain a strong pace, with growth projected to exceed 6%. China’s growth is moderating toward 4.5%–4.6% but could stabilize with further policy support.
Europe’s recovery remains uneven, with many countries experiencing slower growth—around 0.9% this year—due to reduced consumer spending and continued impacts from trade tensions.
Emerging markets—including Latin America and the Middle East/North Africa (MENA)—are showing renewed strength. Latin America’s economy is forecast to grow between 2.7% and 3.9% through 2026, while the MENA region may expand by 5.8% or more into next year.

When considering investment opportunities for late 2025 and 2026, the current environment supports both US and global diversification. Investors should carefully consider their individual objectives, risk tolerance, and consult relevant disclosures before making any investment decisions.

In the US, sectors such as energy infrastructure, manufacturing, artificial intelligence, and residential real estate continue to present potential opportunities, supported by robust reindustrialization trends and strong consumer activity.
European equities may become more attractive due to improved governance, lower entry valuations, and potential support from central bank policy.
Emerging markets—especially India and regions with strong technology and fintech sectors—offer potential growth prospects. Investors should remain mindful of varying local regulations and associated risks.
Global energy, infrastructure, and renewable sectors are positioned to benefit from increasing demand and long-term technological advancements. However, all forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual outcomes to differ.
