Global economic growth is expected to rise, but it might not bode well for investors

SINGAPORE (Apr 4): Schroders is raising its global growth forecasts for the next two years on the back of buoyant economic activity, but warns of uncertainty for investors amid a corresponding rise in interest rates.

“Donald Trump’s plan to boost the US government’s spending by $300 billion has added fuel to a US and global economy already firing on all cylinders,” says Keith Wade, Schroders’ chief economist and strategist in an April note.

However, Wade believes global economic growth will be spurred by more than just the US’s spending plans.
