Vietnam’s economic growth forecast cut by World Bank amid U.S. tariff impact Investing.com -- The World Bank lowered its forecast for Vietnam’s economic growth on Monday, citing evidence that U.S. tariffs are beginning to affect exports from the Southeast Asian nation. The international financial institution reduced its GDP growth projection for Vietnam to 6.6% from a previous estimate of 6.8% for this year. According to the World Bank, economic activity in Vietnam is expected to slow down during the remainder of the year as export growth returns to normal levels following strong performance in the first half. The revised forecast from the World Bank stands significantly below the Vietnamese government’s official target range of 8.3% to 8.5% growth for the year.

Germany’s economy forecast cut at Ifo as tariffs weigh on growth Investing.com -- Germany’s economy is expected to grow at a slower pace than previously forecast, according to the Ifo Institute’s quarterly report released Thursday. The Ifo Institute lowered its growth projection for Europe’s largest economy to 0.2% for 2025, down from its earlier forecast of 0.3%. The outlook for 2026 was also reduced to 1.3% from the previous estimate of 1.5%. Timo Wollmershaeuser, head of forecasts at Ifo, pointed to U.S. tariffs as a key factor still having a "noticeable impact" on the German economy. "Solely the uncertainty associated with the previous tariff dispute is likely to gradually recede, which will support the economy," Wollmershaeuser said. The downward revision comes despite the German government’s planned fiscal loosening, which economists say will provide less economic stimulus than initially anticipated.

US tariffs threaten Namibia’s international payments  Chamwe Kaira  The recent announcement of a 15 percent tariff on Namibian exports to the US and a 30% tariff on South African goods has implications that go beyond trade flows, analyst Almandro Jansen of Simonis Storm Securities has warned.  Jansen said these measures will also affect how money moves across borders, particularly through the  Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) system,  the backbone of international payments. SWIFT is used by over 11 000 financial institutions worldwide. It allows banks to send payment instructions, settle cross-border trade, and communicate in a standard format.  Almost every Namibian dollar earned from exports is processed through SWIFT, often routed via correspondent banks in South Africa or Europe before final settlement in major currencies such as the US dollar or euro. Jansen said the tariffs will likely reduce Namibia’s SWIFT traffic with US counterparties.  “Higher tariffs make Namibian goods less competitive in the American market, particularly for mineral exports such as uranium and agricultural products like grapes and beef. Lower export volumes translate directly into fewer US dollar receipts being settled through SWIFT. While the US is not Namibia’s largest customer, its strategic importance lies in the currency dimension. The US dollar remains the dominant trade settlement currency worldwide, and any reduction in dollar inflows can make payment cycles more complex and costly for a small, open economy like Namibia,” he said. He added that the effects through South Africa could be even more significant. Namibia depends on South African banks for US dollar clearing because most Namibian banks do not have direct correspondent accounts in New York.  “If South African exporters see a sharp drop in their US-bound sales under the new tariffs, their banks will generate fewer dollar inflows. This weakens the very channels Namibia relies on, potentially leading to slower settlements, higher transaction costs, and tighter liquidity for cross-border trade payments. In effect, Namibia’s financial exposure to US tariffs is magnified by its dependence on South Africa’s financial system,” Jansen said. He warned that in the medium term, the tariffs could shift Namibia’s trade and financial flows.  Exporters of uranium, copper, beef, and grapes may redirect sales to Europe, Asia, and African markets under AfCFTA. With fewer US dollars flowing into SACU, regional dollar liquidity will shrink, which could put pressure on Namibia’s currency peg to the rand, he said.

Tariff hit on GDP could reach 1% as price effects build—Barclays Investing.com -- The economic drag from U.S. tariffs could deepen significantly as delayed effects take hold and new measures are implemented, according to Barclays. In a note titled Mind the tariff gap, the bank said the effective tariff rate “was ‘just’ 10%” as of June, with over half of imports still entering the U.S. duty-free. “The real surprise in the U.S. economy’s resilience lies not in its reaction to tariffs but that the rise in the effective tariff rate has been more modest than commonly thought,” analysts wrote. Barclays estimated that tariffs have so far exerted a 0.4% drag on gross domestic product but warned of “an additional hit of c.1% due to further increases in tariffs and the delayed effects of past ones.” The bank expects tariffs to raise the headline price level by 0.8% in total, with at least three-quarters of that impact still to come. The effective tariff increase up to June is “likely only about half of the eventual total hike,” Barclays noted, citing higher reciprocal tariffs already announced, new sectoral tariffs in the pipeline, potential removal of carve-outs, and the possibility that current trade diversion patterns may not last. “Whether the electronics exemption remains in place will be key to watch,” it said. Using a granular dataset, Barclays attributed the limited increase so far to trade diversion away from China and exemptions such as the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement. The price pass-through until June was “slightly more muted than implied by models,” but the bank said its estimates suggest that inflationary effects will continue to build.

South Korea industry minister still concerned about US tariff impact on exporters SEOUL (Reuters) -South Korea’s industry minister said on Monday that the country managed to avoid the worst-case scenario by clinching a U.S. tariff deal, but concerns remained over how the profitability of exporters would be affected by a 15% tariff rate. Industry minister Kim Jung-kwan made the comments at a roundtable meeting with business groups and academics. "There are concerns that the unprecedented 15% tariff will have a significant impact on the profitability of companies exporting to the U.S., especially small and mid-sized companies, compared to local U.S. companies," Kim said in his opening remarks. Under its deal with U.S. President Donald Trump, South Korea also agreed on a $350 billion investment package, including $200 billion in strategic industries such as semiconductors. The rest was earmarked for the U.S. shipbuilding industry. Kim said that the government would continue discussions with the U.S. to work on the specifics of the investment package so it would benefit the country’s economy and companies. There is no written agreement yet on the deal between Seoul and Washington, and more follow-up discussions were needed on the investment fund’s structure among other details, South Korean officials have said. Regardless of the tariff deal, South Korea will seek a long-term strategy in the face of a new normal era where nationalism is expanding in the global trade environment, Industry Minister Kim said.

Italy’s economy shrinks in Q2, minister says US tariffs to hit growth Investing.com -- Italy’s economy unexpectedly contracted by 0.1% in the second quarter compared to the first quarter, according to preliminary data released Wednesday. Economy Minister Giancarlo Giorgetti said U.S. tariffs will have a significant impact on the economy in Italy and Europe, though he maintained that the government’s GDP growth target of 0.6% for 2025 remains achievable despite the disappointing latest figures. Giorgetti noted that the EU-US deal on tariffs agreed last weekend would have a cumulative negative impact on Italian GDP of up to 0.5% next year.

U.S.-EU trade deal seen reducing European growth by 0.5% - Capital Economics Investing.com - A trade deal with the U.S. has helped the European Union avoid the worst of a tariff war with the world’s largest economy, but it remains to be seen how long this truce will last for, according to analysts at Capital Economics. In a note, the analysts led by Jack Allen-Reynolds flagged that the average tariff rate on U.S. imports from the EU will now rise to around 17% from just 1.2% in 2024 -- an increase that they predicted will reduce growth in the bloc by around 0.5%. Washington and Brussels reached a landmark trade agreement on Sunday that includes a 15% tariff on EU goods entering the U.S. The tariff applies to a wide range of items, including semiconductors and pharmaceuticals. However, there are some exceptions, such as a 50% levy on steel and aluminum that will remain in place. The broad-strokes deal encompasses significant EU purchases of U.S. energy and military gear, along with substantial investments in the American economy. U.S. President Donald Trump said the European Union has committed to purchasing $750 billion worth of energy from the United States. He also stated that the EU has agreed to make $600 billion in investments in the U.S. "They are agreeing to open up their countries to trade at zero tariff," Trump told reporters. He added that the EU would "purchase a vast amount of military equipment" from the U.S. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen confirmed the agreement would include 15% tariffs across the board, noting that this measure would help "rebalance" trade between the two major trading partners. Of the $3.3 trillion in goods imported by the U.S. last year, more than $600 billion came from the 27-member EU. The pact could help bring some calm to investors, who had been wary that both sides could fail to reach a deal before August 1, when Trump’s sweeping "reciprocal" tariffs are due to come into effect. The EU had been facing heightened levies of 30%, and had reportedly been pushing for a zero-for-zero agreement with the White House. "[F]or now the deal has avoided a much bigger and more damaging increase in U.S. tariffs, as well as EU retaliation. This will reduce uncertainty in the near term and has understandably been greeted positively by the markets this morning," the Capital Economics analysts said. European stocks have risen to a four-month high, while U.S. stock futures pointed higher on Monday. However, the fine details of the agreement have yet to be ironed out, the analysts flagged, adding that Trump could "still change his mind even after the deal has been finalized and signed." "So uncertainty is likely to remain high for the foreseeable future," they said.

US tariffs represents major shock to automotive sector The imposition of a 30% tariff by the United States on all South African exports including vehicles represents a major external shock to South Africa’s automotive sector, and by extension, to Namibia’s vehicle market, which is intricately linked to its southern neighbour through trade, supply chains, and dealership networks. Namibia imports the overwhelming majority of its new vehicles from South Africa, leveraging shared logistics routes, harmonised standards under the SACU arrangement, and the ease of rand-based trade due to the currency peg. As such, any disruption to South Africa’s vehicle production and export profile will inevitably ripple through to Namibia, directly influencing availability, pricing, model variety, and broader sector stability. In the immediate term, the collapse of South African exports to the U.S. may result in excess inventory, particularly for higher-spec or left-hand-drive models earmarked for the North American market. These could be reallocated to Southern African Development Community (SADC) markets, including Namibia, at discounted prices or under promotional terms. This temporary oversupply might benefit Namibian dealers and consumers through improved stock levels, shorter delivery times, and price relief, especially on models that are not normally readily available in Namibia. However, this window is likely to be short-lived. The more systemic risk lies in the potential retrenchment of production lines in South Africa as OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers) react to the loss of a key export destination. The US has historically been a critical outlet for South African vehicle exports, particularly for premium brands and high-volume models like the Ford Ranger and Mercedes-Benz C-Class, which have been manufactured for global markets. With those volumes severely curtailed, plants may downscale operations, delay new investments, or, in worst-case scenarios, shift production offshore, decisions that would reduce the flow of locally assembled vehicles into Namibia. Such supply-side tightening could result in higher vehicle prices in Namibia over the medium term, not only because of reduced production efficiency in South Africa, but also due to increased competition for the remaining supply. Namibian consumers may also experience a narrowing of product choice, with certain trim levels or model variants becoming less available as manufacturers concentrate resources on their most profitable lines. Furthermore, currency risk will play an amplifying role. South Africa’s deteriorating trade position and investor sentiment, exacerbated by geopolitical uncertainty, could lead to a depreciation of the rand. While this might superficially appear positive for Namibian importers due to the 1:1 peg with the Namibian dollar, such exchange rate weakness is often accompanied by inflationary pressures, rising input costs, and eventual price pass-throughs from OEMs seeking to preserve margins.  Thus, any initial benefit could be eroded by subsequent price adjustments. There are also concerns around after-sales service and parts availability, as supply chains become more fragmented and the flow of OEM support equipment is disrupted. Namibian dealerships rely heavily on South African infrastructure from logistics to technical training and warehousing and any weakening of that ecosystem due to a contraction in South African vehicle exports could degrade service quality, increase maintenance turnaround times, and limit spare parts availability, especially for newer models. On the financial side, vehicle financing and insurance may become more cautious. Banks and lenders may begin adjusting their risk exposure models, particularly if vehicle prices become more volatile or replacement costs rise due to supply disruptions.  This could lead to stricter loan qualification criteria or lower loan-to-value ratios, thereby dampening consumer access to credit, a critical component of vehicle affordability in Namibia. Insurers may similarly reassess their valuations more frequently, affecting premium structures.  -Simonis Storm Securities

What could be the impact of a 50% tariff on EU economy? Investing.com -- U.S. President Donald Trump’s threat to impose a 50% tariff on imports from the European Union could significantly undermine eurozone growth and raise the risk of a broader trade conflict, according to UBS. While the initial move was delayed until July 9 following talks with European Commission (EC) President Ursula von der Leyen, UBS warns that this is not a “stable equilibrium” and that the risk of escalation remains elevated. UBS had previously estimated that the 20% reciprocal tariffs announced in April would push the eurozone into a technical recession in the second half of 2025, reducing growth by 0.7 percentage points. In the case of a 50% tariff, the impact could be even deeper. “A 50% tariff—if maintained—would roughly imply a doubling of the effective tariff rate announced on April 2,” UBS economists led by Felix Huefner wrote. They estimate eurozone GDP growth could fall from the current forecast of 0.7% in 2025 and 1% in 2026 to just 0.4% and 0.5%, respectively. In the near term, companies may front-load shipments to the U.S. ahead of the July deadline, potentially boosting second-quarter activity. However, the economists note this would likely be followed by weaker performance later in the year. The tariff shock so far has been disinflationary, but that could reverse if the EU retaliates. “Should the EC implement retaliation measures, inflation pressures could increase, everything else being equal.” Brussels has already prepared two retaliation packages: a €21 billion list of tariffs delayed until July 14, and a broader €95 billion proposal under public consultation. Should negotiations with the U.S. collapse, UBS expects the EU to respond, viewing the current blanket and sectoral tariffs as “probably unacceptable” to the Commission. “Overall then, this could potentially lead to a further escalation in trade tensions with the U.S.,” the economists added. While fiscal spending on infrastructure and defense may support growth starting in 2026, UBS sees the coming months as pivotal. The bank warns that recent developments increase the risk that U.S. tariffs may remain elevated after mid-July, undermining hopes for a rollback and threatening growth, while also heightening the chance of EU retaliation that could trigger a tit-for-tat escalation with negative impacts on both growth and inflation.

U.S. tariffs to have minimal impact on UK economy, says BoE Chief Economist Investing.com -- The Chief Economist of the Bank of England (BoE), Huw Pill, stated on Friday that the U.S. tariffs are unlikely to dramatically affect the UK’s economy. He emphasized that the central bank should not overlook long-term domestic pressures that could cause inflation to rise. Pill, who opposed the quarter-point rate cut by the BoE on Thursday, expressed understanding towards the central bank’s cautious and gradual approach to future rate cuts. He noted that it is essential for the bank to remain flexible and responsive to potential economic changes that might necessitate a different strategy. In a presentation to businesses, Pill clarified that the baseline forecast analysis does not indicate a significant shift in the UK economy due to recent trade announcements and uncertainties. He stated, "The analysis in the baseline forecast does not suggest that there’s a dramatic shift in the behaviour of the UK economy on the back of these trade announcements and trade uncertainties."
