In March, global manufacturing recovery weakened, with low-speed growth becoming normalized. Key economies including the U.S., Japan, South Korea, Germany, and France remained below the 50% PMI threshold (contraction zone), while regional divergence persisted. Notably, U.S. tariff policies accelerated global trade friction and supply chain disruption risks, prompting OECD and IMF to lower global growth forecasts.
