The U.S. economy will continue to be the developed world’s best performer in 2025 giving President-elect Donald Trump a running start on his plan to spur faster growth, the International Monetary Fund said.

The U.S. economy has separated itself from the global pack — and its lead could widen in the new year. That’s the upshot of a new forecast by the International Monetary Fund, the organization created at the end of World War II to support the global economy.

The International Monetary Fund expects the world economy to grow a little faster and inflation to keep falling this year.

Donald Trump's economic plans risk reigniting US inflation, International Monetary Fund (IMF) chief economist Pierre-Olivier Gourinchas told AFP, a few days before the president-elect returns to the White House.
