- Our predictions suggest a gradual return to healthy growth in the coming years, fueled by lower interest rates, increased purchasing power, and reduced inflation.

In the Nordic region, economies are facing a period of stagnation or mild recession, with the exception of Denmark’s pharmaceutical industry, which is experiencing a significant boom. However, our forecasts indicate a positive shift towards growth in the upcoming years. This optimistic outlook is supported by factors such as lower interest rates, improved consumer spending ability, and a decrease in inflation rates.
Meanwhile, the US economy has been a bright spot, surpassing expectations in 2023 and maintaining its strength, albeit potentially slowing down slightly this year. In contrast, China’s economy continues to face uncertainties and obstacles, but it persists in navigating through these challenges.
