It is expected that there will be a positive but moderate growth next year.

Behind this, the purchases of the central bank and investors offset the significant slowdown in consumer demand. Looking ahead, all eyes are focused on the impact of Trump's second term on the global economy. The current forecast of GDP, yield and inflation shows that gold will have a positive but much more moderate growth in 2025.
