Brazil's economic growth is expected to slow down in the second half of 2025, encumbered by high interest rates and worries about the U.S.-led global trade shake-up, a Reuters poll found. The slowdown would follow a good first half owing to a resurgence in the farm sector and could prompt the government to bolster public spending to support economic activity, economists said. Even without additional fiscal stimulus, gross domestic product should log a decent expansion in annual terms, following forecast-beating results in 2024.
