- The election prompted no changes to its GDP, inflation or interest-rate forecasts.
- AI investment is expected to continue as markets see tough regulation of AI and data centers as unlikely.
- About 400 data centers under construction or already permitted are unlikely to be affected, though new projects could face delays.
- Stronger AI investment could intensify competition for capital, pushing long-term interest rates higher, particularly hurting low-growth, highly indebted countries.
