The head of the IMF reported a slowdown in global economic growth due to Trump's duties

The trade duties imposed by US President Donald Trump had a negative impact on the global economy and led to a decrease in its growth rate. This was reported on April 19 by Bloomberg with reference to a statement made by the head of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) Kristalina Georgieva.

"Our new growth forecasts will include notable declines, but not a recession. We will also see increases in inflation forecasts for some countries. We will warn that prolonged high uncertainty increases the risk of stress in the financial market," she said.

Among other events defining the global economy, Bloomberg cites the decisions of central banks in Russia and Indonesia on key interest rates, as well as wages in the European Union.

"The Central Bank of Russia will announce its latest monetary decision on Friday. The recent decrease in consumer price pressures is probably not enough to convince policy makers to lower the benchmark from a record 21%," the analysts said.

On April 2, Trump announced the introduction of 10% base duties on products imported from other countries. For the European Union (EU), this figure was raised to 20%, and for China — to 34%.

On April 9, the US president announced the suspension of duties previously imposed on a number of countries for 90 days. He also announced an immediate increase in duties on products from China to 125%. On April 10, this figure reached 145%.
