Economy: Economists lower forecast to zero growth for 2025

This essentially corresponds to the situation last fall, when the economic experts presented their previous report. In addition, they explained, the tariffs imposed by US President Donald Trump are now being added. The forecast is based on the tariffs and countermeasures from other countries that came into effect at the beginning of May, emphasized economist Veronika Grimm (53). Overall, there is "high uncertainty about the future direction of US trade policy."
