We've cut our 2025 GDP growth forecast by 0.6ppts to 2.0%, to reflect another extension by OPEC+ of voluntary oil production cuts. The cartel has announced it will delay unwinding cuts until at least the end of Q1, due to concerns over weak demand. We think OPEC+ will extend until Q3 2025 and maintain our oil price forecast at an average of $72.6pb over 2025.
