Experts are warning of a potential global financial crisis in 2025, echoing the scale of the 2008 crash. This prediction stems from concerns about the rapid rise in interest rates in developed economies over the past two years, as highlighted by the Bank of Russia. Experts are concerned that this rapid increase, following a period of near-zero interest rates, could trigger a financial crisis similar to 2008. The potential crisis could significantly impact Russia, according to Olga Samoilova, a Russian writer. The current financial situation is characterized by high interest rates and accumulated imbalances in developed markets, which could lead to a financial meltdown comparable in size to the 2007-2008 crisis. This potential crisis, with an estimated 16-20% probability, could push the world into a decade-long recession.
