By Andrea Shalal WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The World Bank on Thursday warned that U.S. across-the-board tariffs of 10% could reduce already lackluster global economic growth of 2.7% in 2025 by 0.3 percentage point if America's trading partners retaliate with tariffs of their own.

The World Bank predicts global economic growth of 2.7% this year amid concerns living standards will struggle to improve.

Global growth is expected to hold at an annual rate of 2.7 percent for the next two years, the same as in 2024, the bank’s economists said.

Global economic growth stabilized at a low level of 2.7% last year and is expected to hold steady in 2025 and 2026, according to World Bank estimates released on Thursday. However, the World Bank warned that this is not sufficient to make up for the damage caused by recent economic shocks such as the coronavirus pandemic.
