CareEdge Global has released its latest Global Economy Update – August 2025, outlining key international and regional economic developments.

Key Highlights:

International Landscape
The report notes broad-based upward revisions to growth as strong trade front-loading supports short-term performance. However, global trade conditions remain volatile, with new trade deals announced by a few economies with the U.S. to secure lower tariffs. Global FDI flows are losing momentum, with reorientation trends evident. Rising debt and only moderate growth raise concerns over long-term debt sustainability.

Asia Pacific

• Australia: Gains strength from its critical mineral advantage.

• China: Export growth is increasingly driven by non-U.S. markets.

• India: While capex focus continues, direct tax collections have weakened; additionally, the relative tariff edge India held since April has now reversed.

• Japan: Rising yields may pose risks for Japan’s long-term fiscal outlook.

• UAE: OPEC+ production raise in July is expected to support the UAE’s oil GDP.

The Americas

• United States: The Fed held rates steady, but H1 growth slowed.

• Chile: Minimum wages continue to rise, though CPI remains under control.

Europe

• European Union: Growth has slowed, prompting the ECB to pause rate cuts.

• France: Fiscal fragility persists.

• United Kingdom: Inflation continues to surprise on the upside.

Africa

• Morocco: Trade deficit widened in H1 2025 due to rising imports.

• South Africa: Debt levels are rising, but the low share of external debt helps mitigate risks.

The update also covers CareEdge Global Sovereign Ratings, providing further insights into debt sustainability and global market resilience.
