But the probability of a recession in the US had increased to nearly 40 per cent, Gourinchas said, compared with 25 per cent in its previous World Economic Outlook.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe major risk in front of us is that there could be further escalation in tariffs and trade tensions,\u201d he said in an interview. \u201cThere is also the risk of financial conditions tightening much further than they have.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/trump-tariffs\" data-trackable=\"link\">tariffs<\/a> will also feed through to higher inflation in the US, according to the IMF, with consumer prices set to grow 3 per cent this year, a full percentage point higher than expected.<\/p>\n<p>Reiterating the fund\u2019s argument that central bank independence is important to keep inflation in check, Gourinchas said the Fed was right to keep interest rates on hold as it weighs the impact of the levies. The IMF\u2019s outlook assumes there will be two Fed rate cuts this year.<\/p>\n<p>He added that extra trade barriers represented a supply shock that could \u201cmaterially\u201d affect goods prices in coming years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Fed is sitting at this point and saying, \u2018OK, how is this going to play out?\u2019\u201d Gourinchas said. \u201cAnd waiting and figuring things out seems very appropriate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The outlook comes as economic policymakers from around the world gather in Washington for the IMF\/World Bank spring meetings, which will be dominated by discussion of the global trade conflicts.<\/p>\n<p>The IMF has cut its outlook for global growth by half a point to 2.8 per cent this year and trimmed its prediction for 2026 to 3 per cent. This is a slowdown from 2024\u2019s rate of 3.3 per cent, as the IMF warns of the \u201cmajor negative shock\u201d of rising trade barriers.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"n-content-image n-content-image--full\" data-component=\"image-set\"><picture><source media=\"(min-width: 700px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/__origami\/service\/image\/v2\/images\/raw\/ftcms%3Aebe67839-14e8-4192-bc3a-d8ce42f7d7fb?source=next-article&amp;fit=scale-down&amp;quality=highest&amp;width=700&amp;dpr=1 1x,https:\/\/www.ft.com\/__origami\/service\/image\/v2\/images\/raw\/ftcms%3Aebe67839-14e8-4192-bc3a-d8ce42f7d7fb?source=next-article&amp;fit=scale-down&amp;quality=highest&amp;width=700&amp;dpr=2 2x,https:\/\/www.ft.com\/__origami\/service\/image\/v2\/images\/raw\/ftcms%3Aebe67839-14e8-4192-bc3a-d8ce42f7d7fb?source=next-article&amp;fit=scale-down&amp;quality=highest&amp;width=700&amp;dpr=3 3x\" width=\"2290\" height=\"1527\"\/><source media=\"(max-width: 490px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/__origami\/service\/image\/v2\/images\/raw\/ftcms%3A2c9594e7-ce11-47dd-9f50-30afd9f37a62?source=next-article&amp;fit=scale-down&amp;quality=highest&amp;width=490&amp;dpr=1 1x,https:\/\/www.ft.com\/__origami\/service\/image\/v2\/images\/raw\/ftcms%3A2c9594e7-ce11-47dd-9f50-30afd9f37a62?source=next-article&amp;fit=scale-down&amp;quality=highest&amp;width=490&amp;dpr=2 2x,https:\/\/www.ft.com\/__origami\/service\/image\/v2\/images\/raw\/ftcms%3A2c9594e7-ce11-47dd-9f50-30afd9f37a62?source=next-article&amp;fit=scale-down&amp;quality=highest&amp;width=490&amp;dpr=3 3x\" width=\"1527\" height=\"1527\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/__origami\/service\/image\/v2\/images\/raw\/https%3A%2F%2Fd1e00ek4ebabms.cloudfront.net%2Fproduction%2Febe67839-14e8-4192-bc3a-d8ce42f7d7fb.jpg?source=next-article&amp;fit=scale-down&amp;quality=highest&amp;width=700&amp;dpr=1\" alt=\"Pierre-Olivier Gourinchas speaks during an IMF roundtable in Washington, US, in 2023\" data-image-type=\"image\" width=\"2290\" height=\"1527\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/picture><figcaption class=\"n-content-picture__caption\"><span>IMF chief economist Pierre-Olivier Gourinchas said: \u2018The major risk in front of us is that there could be further escalation in tariffs and trade tensions\u2019<\/span><span> <!-- -->\u00a9 Ken Cedeno\/Reuters<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The forecast incorporated US tariff announcements and countermeasures by other countries between February 1 and April 4 \u2014 before Trump announced a 90-day pause on most of his so-called reciprocal tariffs, while ratcheting up those on China.
