Regarding forecast, DEKRA comments, ‘No new growth drivers are expected for the global economy. Against the backdrop of wars  and economic crises, the IMF forecasts global GDP growth of 3.3%. While growth of 4.2% is expected in developing and emerging economies, the figure is 1.3% in the eurozone and 2.4% in the United States, India (6.4%), Sub-Saharan Africa (4.6%), China (4.5%) and Saudi Arabia (4.5%) are expected to see the strongest growth. The impact of current geopolitical developments – such as conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine -cannot yet be predicted. Potential trade wars – such as those resulting from tariff hikes – could also have far-reaching consequences for the global economy. DEKRA’s business performance could also be affected by the latter, as well as rising energy prices, although the impact on service companies costs is currently considered to be minimal.’
