The global economy faces several ticking time bombs that could significantly impact markets in 2025. China's economic challenges, including a housing bubble and rising debt, pose risks to global stability. The U.S. debt crisis, with skyrocketing deficits, threatens to destabilize financial markets by driving up interest rates and volatility. Additionally, geopolitical tensions, potential cyberattacks, and the ongoing U.S.-China trade war could trigger economic shocks. These factors create uncertainty and potential instability, making it crucial for policymakers to address these issues to prevent a global economic downturn.
