Our GDP growth forecast for 2025 stands at a mild 0.1ppt downward revision to 1.8% from last month, despite strong activity releases at the margin.

We expect a second Donald Trump presidency to heighten global policy uncertainty, which is likely to cool domestic investment growth, feeding through labour market dynamics, which would slow household consumption momentum.
