Economist Nouriel Roubini Revises U.S. Economic Outlook Amid Technological Advances

According to Odaily, economist Nouriel Roubini, often referred to as 'Dr. Doom,' has recently adjusted his outlook on the U.S. economy, shifting from a recession forecast to a more optimistic view. He anticipates that new technologies, such as artificial intelligence and nuclear fusion energy, will drive a cycle of investment and productivity growth in the United States by 2030. Roubini predicts that the GDP growth rate could rise from the current 2% to 4%, and the U.S. stock market, including indices like the S&P 500, may experience high single-digit gains by 2025. Roubini attributes his positive economic outlook to the rapid release of AI effects and the approaching commercialization of nuclear fusion, combined with the market's enhanced ability to respond to policies from U.S. President Donald Trump. Despite remaining cautious about structural threats such as geopolitical conflicts and debt risks, he considers the overall risks to be 'manageable.' Roubini also emphasized his stance as a 'realist,' countering the perception of him as a perpetual pessimist, suggesting that the 'Dr. Doom' label is inaccurate.
