The US is approaching a presidential election in November 2024. The outcome of the election will shape the country’s future fiscal, monetary and trade policies, which will in turn influence the growth trajectory of the world’s largest economy, while having spillover effects globally.
The global economy has witnessed a sustained period of resilient growth as it enters the second half of 2024, driven by falling inflation and better-than-expected employment and private consumption.
