Additional Note: The “limited tariffs” scenario assumes that US tariffs apply only to select trading partners. The “moderate tariffs” scenario assumes that US economic growth slows, but the downturn is limited due to partial tariff relief brought by trade negotiations with other countries. The “heavy tariffs” scenario assumes that broad US tariffs spark a global recession, leading to inflation, retaliation from other countries, and weakened business and consumer sentiment.
