Reserve Bank of India (RBI) â repo-rate cut
On 5 December 2025, RBI cut its key repo rate by 25 basis points to 5.25%. ïżœ
This move is considered one of the most aggressive monetary-easing actions by RBI in recent years â aiming to boost liquidity, support growth, and sustain a favorable economic environment. ïżœ
The wider implication: for India and emerging markets, such rate changes can impact interest rates, borrowing costs, currency flows, and ultimately growth â useful context for crypto/finance-economyâthemed writing.
International Monetary Fund (IMF) disbursement to Pakistan
The IMF approved a US $1.2 billion disbursement to Pakistan under its ongoing bailout/fiscal-reform program, signaling confidence in Islamabadâs recent reforms. ïżœ
With this, Pakistanâs foreign reserves are reportedly about US $14.5 billion, marking some stabilization after economic and climate-related shocks. ïżœ
Event relevance: developments like these often ripple across global markets â affecting regional currencies, risk perception, cross-border capital flows, etc. Could be interesting for macroeconomic or geopolitical finance posts.
Global trade surge & growth in 2025 â as per UNCTAD
According to the latest Global Trade Update, global trade is expected to grow ~7% in 2025, adding roughly US $2.2 trillion, making it a record-high year. ïżœ
Key growth drivers: manufacturing (especially electronics), increased trade volume (rather than price inflation), and strong trade activity in East Asia, Africa, and âSouthâSouthâ corridors.
Why it matters: rising global trade can influence commodity prices, supply-chain dynamics, inflation â all of which impact markets including crypto, equities, and commodities.
Anticipation of Federal Reserve (Fed) policy move in US
Markets globally are watching closely as the US Fed is set for a policy meeting (around 9â10 December 2025), with many economists expecting a rate cut of 25 basis points. ïżœ
This potential move â especially in light of mixed US macro data, employment and inflation uncertainty â could shift global capital flows, dollar strength, investor sentiment, etc. ïżœ
For emerging markets (like India), such global monetary policy shifts often influence forex, inflows/outflows â a useful angle for global economy or crypto-macro themed posts.
Global growth outlook & economic uncertainty
According to recent updates by major global institutions, global economic growth is forecast to slow: from ~3.2% in 2025 down to ~2.9% in 2026, before a modest rise to ~3.1% in 2027. ïżœ
Inflation is expected to moderate in many regions, though unevenly. ïżœ
Combined with trade tensions, protectionism, and shifting monetary policies, this makes for a fragile â yet opportunistic â global economic backdrop. ïżœ
