OECD raises global growth forecast for 2025

The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)’s global growth forecasts for 2025 are slightly encouraging, with the organization raising the figure to 3.2 %.

The OECD has considered aspects such as the impact of geopolitical conflicts and increased trade tensions, as well as global economic resilience and interest rate adjustments.

The figures are different for each region. In the Eurozone, for example, the weakest economies have been Germany (0 % in 2024 and 0.7 % in 2025), France (1.1 % in 2024 and 0.9 % in 2025) and Italy (0.5 % in 2024 and 0.9 % in 2025).

Regarding Spain in particular, according to the OECD, GDP will rise by 3 % this year “and will be the second highest of all Member States, only behind Turkey (3.5 %)”.

In the case of the United States, its growth has been solid and is expected to remain at 2.8 % this year and 2.4 % next year.

China and India, in the Asian region, have provided surprises: China (4.9 % in 2024 and 4.7 % in 2025) and India (6.8 % and 6.9 %, respectively). And they are followed in Latin America by Brazil (3.2 % and 2.3 %) and Mexico (1.4 % and 1.2 %). Regarding Argentina, which is recovering at the end of the year, the OECD estimates that growth will be somewhat higher both in 2025 (2.2 %) and in 2026 (2.1 %), thanks to the fact that the country is preparing to emerge from the recession it has been experiencing.
