Our operating 
environment
Global growth has slowed marginally from 
3.3% in 2024. The 3.2% we currently 
expect for 2025 would be the weakest 
growth since 2020's pandemic-
dominated decline but is still well above 
the 1% growth broadly accepted as the 
benchmark for global recession.
The United States economy has slowed 
most noticeably, although New Zealand 
and parts of Asia have also seen weaker 
activity. Europe and some other 
economies, including Australia, have been 
able to grow more quickly despite this 
backdrop, at least partly because of the 
beneficial influence of lower interest rates.
Growth in China has been broadly stable 
despite the significance of its trading 
relationship with the United States. China's 
export dependency has declined in recent 
years, which has provided some insulation 
from tariffs. But China is still a production- 
intensive economy, only some of which is 
consumed domestically.
The only-marginal global slowdown 
has supported the redirection of China's 
exports to markets away from the United 
States, which has kept GDP growth on 
an even keel. But consumer prices have 
been flat since 2023, suggesting 
productive capacity has grown more 
quickly than demand.
Economic outlook
The imposition of tariffs by the United 
States has interrupted patterns of trade 
and raised uncertainty. But tariffs are also 
adding to the supply-side constraints that 
were already a challenge. Geopolitical 
realignments, stronger defence spending, 
and the rebirth of industry policy in 
advanced economies have put pressure 
on productivity.
Interest rate reductions are, consequently, 
likely to be gradual and sporadic. 
Economic growth is below trend in many 
jurisdictions. Bond markets are likely to 
remain alert to fiscal slippage, including 
in the United States.
Private sector balance sheets, in 
general, are in solid shape, which limits 
the risk of a sharper slowdown in 
growth. In some cases borrowers are 
using lower interest rates to improve 
balance sheets further, rather than 
borrowing more to spend or invest.
China is facing slower credit growth 
and adjusting to softer structural drivers 
of demand. An ageing demographic 
suggests a shift in the mix of activity over 
time, including in the commodity sector. 
India, however, remains the world's 
fastest growing large economy and the 
remainder of Asia is growing faster than 
the global average.
In some cases 
borrowers are using 
lower interest rates to 
improve balance sheets 
further, rather than 
borrowing more to 
spend or invest.
Global growth has slowed only marginally this year 
and Asia remains the fastest growing region.
