Higher Tariffs Take Toll on Global Growth—and The Impact Is Set to Linger

The latest rise in U.S. import tariffs is starting to bite—not with a sudden economic collapse, but with a quiet, persistent drag on global growth that could linger for years. While the initial shock was less severe than many feared, economists warn the long‑term consequences are building up. Much of the reason the impact has seemed muted so far: companies and countries front‐loaded shipments, shifted supply chains preemptively, or absorbed rising costs rather than passing them on immediately. But these buffers are now wearing thin. The ripple effects include slower export demand, disrupted supply lines and elevated uncertainty in business investment. Europe and other major economies are already revising their growth forecasts downward in light of these developments. Meanwhile, analysts caution that the full effect of tariffs often shows up with a lag—meaning that the real hit could unfold over the next few quarters, rather than abruptly. #tariffs #globalgrowth #tradepolicy #economy #SlimScan #GrowthStocks #CANSLIM
