A cyclone is brewing in the global economy. The US – with its erratic policy-making causing major shocks of uncertainty – is in the eye of the storm, sending headwinds toward the rest of the world. While China, Japan and the Eurozone are in the stable vortex of the cyclone, able to absorb the shocks, emerging markets are in the unstable vortex, leaving them in a vulnerable position. Nevertheless, we predict the global economy can weather this storm, with world GDP growth expected to remain resilient in 2018 and 2019.
