The United States of America and China will continue to the world’s top two largest economies in 2025 as well. They are expected to retain these rankings through the decade, as peer IMF estimates.

In its latest World Economic Outlook, IMF has warned that the global economic system under which most countries have operated for the last 80 years is being reset, ushering the world into a new era.
IMF has adjusted India’s GDP growth forecast for 2025 to 6.2% in its report. This marks a reduction from the earlier projection of 6.5% that was published in the January outlook report.
The downward adjustment in growth projections reflects heightened uncertainties stemming from US President Donald Trump’s decisions on tariffs. The IMF report states: “For India, the growth outlook is relatively more stable at 6.2 percent in 2025, supported by private consumption, particularly in rural areas, but this rate is 0.3 percentage point lower than that in the January 2025 WEO Update on account of higher levels of trade tensions and global uncertainty.“<\/div>\n
