Several factors are contributing to the anticipated slowdown in the global economy during Q4 2024. Central banks’ persistent interest rate hikes are impacting consumer spending and business investment. Furthermore, ongoing geopolitical uncertainties are adding to the economic headwinds. These factors are expected to lead to a contraction in global GDP growth. The impact of these factors is already being felt in various sectors. Manufacturing industries are experiencing reduced orders, leading to decreased production. Consumer confidence is also declining, resulting in reduced spending on non-essential goods. These trends are expected to continue throughout the fourth quarter. Experts predict a moderate but noticeable slowdown in global economic activity. While a full-blown recession is not anticipated, the growth rate is expected to be significantly lower than in previous quarters. The extent of the slowdown will depend on how quickly central banks adjust their policies and how effectively governments address the geopolitical challenges.
