**London, UK** – A new analysis from *The Economist* reveals that while the US economy has shown initial resilience to Donald Trump’s tariffs on Chinese imports, significant economic trouble is on the horizon. Economists, employing innovative tracking methods similar to those used during the pandemic, are finding evidence of impending negative consequences. The study contrasts this with the slowing Russian economy, hampered by crumbling statistical offices and complex trade agreements.
The research, detailed in a recent *Economist* publication, leverages unconventional data sources to assess the impact of the tariffs, suggesting that while immediate fallout is limited, future repercussions are likely to be substantial. The article also highlights the challenges facing Russia’s economy, attributing the slowdown to a combination of bureaucratic inefficiency and complex, overlapping trade agreements. The potential for increased risk in the Russian economy is also noted.
*The Economist* emphasizes the importance of accurate data analysis in assessing global economic health, utilizing the current situation as a case study in the application of novel economic forecasting techniques. The full analysis, along with related podcasts and newsletters, is available with a digital subscription.
