Impact of Tariffs on the Economy
The recent implementation of significant tariffs, reaching as high as 50% across various countries, has contributed to market uncertainty and decreased consumer spending. These tariffs, reminiscent of those from 1930, are seen as negotiation tactics rather than long-term solutions for revenue generation. As companies grapple with higher costs for imported goods, many are forced to increase prices to maintain profitability, which ultimately affects consumers' purchasing power. As such, the expectation is that overall spending will decline in the coming years due to this uncertainty and rising costs in goods and services.
