Goldman Sachs Group lowered its forecast for Australia’s economic growth in 2025, pointing to likely “negative spill-overs” from the incoming Trump administration’s expected increase in tariffs on China.

Goldman now sees gross domestic product rising 1.8% next year, compared with 2% seen previously, reflecting the anticipated impact on exports from Australia’s biggest trading partner, according to its Australia and New Zealand 2025 Outlook, released Monday.

President-elect Donald Trump has threatened to implement 60% tariffs on exports from China as he seeks to protect US firms and jobs.
