IMF report: Too coy for a Trump-shaken world

Mint Chennai

|

July 31, 2025

The Fund's 'World Economic Outlook' only has hints to offer on a global trade response to Trump's tariff turmoil. India stares at a 25% plus US levy but we have others in the same boat

At the best of times, the World Economic Outlook (WEO) published by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) does not pose any risk to human vision with blinding new insights. Ditto for its three quarterly updates. But these are not the best of times. On Wednesday, US President Donald Trump used his very own microblog platform Truth Social to declare that "while India is our friend," imports from here would have to pay a tariff of 25%, plus a penalty for assorted US grievances, from 1 August.

Other countries have had to contend with such posts too. As the world's economies toss and turn amid choppy seas of trade uncertainty, policy watchers look to global bodies like the IMF for clues on how to reach calmer waters.
