SINGAPORE<\/span><\/span>, Jan. 8, 2025<\/span><\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ — Citi Wealth recently released its full-year Wealth Outlook for 2025<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 Growth Amid Discord: Strategies for a “Rule-Breaking” Expansion. The report offers detailed perspectives on the global economic, market and geopolitical landscape ahead,\u00a0 including insights on Asia<\/span> looking at key topics involving China<\/span>, India<\/span> and Japan<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Having defied usually reliable recession signals, the global economic expansion is expected to continue in 2025 and 2026. Citi Wealth forecasts world GDP to rise 2.9% in 2025 and 2026, up from 2.6% in 2024, with the U.S. remaining the primary growth engine. Forecasted U.S. growth for 2025 has also been updated to 2.4%.<\/p>\n

“We are advising our investors to keep core portfolios fully invested for the long-term while being wary of over-concentrated portfolios,” said Steven Wieting<\/span>, Chief Investment Strategist and Economist for Citi Wealth. “The long period of sharp outperformance for U.S. large cap equities has reduced future returns while many other assets \u2013 including smaller cap U.S. growth and international markets \u2013 offer potential opportunity.”<\/p>\n

In Asia<\/span>, India<\/span>, East Asia AI-exposed markets and Japan<\/span> equities could prove attractive.<\/p>\n

Ken Peng<\/span>, Head of Asia Pacific Investment Strategy, Citi Wealth, said, “Opportunities still abound in Asia<\/span>. Strong domestic demand in India<\/span> and progress in reflation and reforms in Japan<\/span> will drive continued growth there. As global trends like AI continue rolling out across industries, markets like South Korea<\/span> and Taiwan<\/span><\/span> are well-placed to address infrastructural needs and future upgrade cycles.”<\/p>\n

Amid likely geopolitical discord, Citi Wealth expects greater market volatility. The Trump administration is projected to pursue policies that prioritize domestic activity and that may stoke tensions internationally. Risks include policies over trade and immigration, their impact on inflation and growth, and pockets of high valuation.<\/p>\n

“With systemic trends powering global economic growth in 2025 and beyond, investors have reason for optimism,” said Andy Sieg<\/span>, Head of Citi Wealth. “At the same time, discord around the world can threaten market stability. With so many variables to consider, it’s important that investors have advisors they can rely on.”<\/p>\n
