Global Financial Uncertainty Grows Amid Ongoing Tariff Talks

Uncertainty in global financial markets has intensified due to the ongoing U.S. tariff policies under President Trump, with financial leaders warning that resource-intensive bilateral trade talks could prolong instability. The International Monetary Fund has revised down its global growth forecast for 2025, citing tariff uncertainty and international responses as key factors. Business leaders are struggling to adapt to constantly changing tariff information, which complicates decision-making and adds stress to corporate planning. Tax and finance executives worldwide are also grappling with the need for increased transparency and rapidly evolving tax environments, with many expecting greater public tax disclosures and facing new challenges from digitalization and cross-border work. Collectively, these developments underscore the widespread impact of U.S. tariff policy shifts on economic outlook and business confidence.
