• The volume of world merchandise trade grew 4.6% in 2025, well above our October forecast of 2.4%, as surging demand for AI-related goods − related to the global investment boom in the sector − offset the negative impacts of higher tariffs and increased trade policy uncertainty. In 2025, for the second year in a row, Asian economies were the largest contributors to total world trade volume growth (as measured by the sum of exports and imports), accounting for 3.2 percentage points out of 4.6, or 71% of the total increase. In addition to an AI-related investment boom, trade in 2025 was supported by resilient demand in emerging markets, by expansionary fiscal and monetary policies in advanced economies, and, in the first half of the year, by the frontloading of imports in North America ahead of the expected imposition of “reciprocal” tariffs by the United States. In the first half of 2025, Asian economies contributed 1.8 percentage points to global merchandise trade growth through AI-enabling goods, while North America added 0.6 percentage points and Europe 0.2 percentage points.

Headwinds from shifting trade policies are offset by tailwinds from surging investment related to technology, including artificial intelligence (AI), more so in North America and Asia than in other regions, as well as fiscal and monetary support, broadly accommodative financial conditions, and adaptability of the private sector. United States , the economy is projected to expand by 2.4 percent in 2026, supported by fiscal policy and a lower policy rate, while the impact of higher trade barriers also gradually wanes. Growth for 2026 is also revised upward by 0.3 percentage point to 4.5 percent, reflecting the lower US effective tariff rates on Chinese goods as a result of the yearlong trade truce agreed to in November and stimulus measures that are assumed to be implemented over two years. As a reference, under a scenario presented in the October 2025 WEO which includes a moderate correction in AI stock valuations as part of a general tightening of financial conditions, global growth declines by 0.4 percent in 2026 relative to baseline.
