The IMF just slashed the U.S. growth forecast.
Why? Tariffs up to 145% are choking trade.

76% of unions say they weren’t even consulted.
This isn’t reform—it’s austerity.

📢 The bottom line:
Growth is slowing. Uncertainty is rising. But what happens next is not inevitable.
Stability is a policy choice.
Let’s choose cooperation over chaos—and back policies that create jobs, expand opportunity, and protect progress. #SpringMeetings2025

The post-war global economic order is finally on the verge of collapse, writes Francisco H. G. Ferreira ahead of the IMF/World Bank #SpringMeetings2025. Reform is finally on its way. The problem: the change that is coming is much for the worse… #LSEInequalitiesBlog

We need a new model—one that puts people before profit.
One that invests in care, education, and climate—not cuts.
Join the call for global economic justice.
#SpringMeetings2025 #PeopleBeforeProfits #IMFWatch #DebtCrisis
IMF austerity policies hit the poorest hardest—especially women, informal workers, and low-income communities.
Public services shrink. Inequality grows.
This isn’t just economic failure—it’s structural harm.
