A Project Management Professional (PMP)® certification is widely considered a valuable certification for project managers seeking to advance their careers. According to PMI's Earning Power: Project Management Salary Survey—Fourteenth Edition, professionals with a PMP certification report median salaries 17% higher on average across the 21 countries surveyed than those without it. The certification validates a professional's experience and knowledge of project management principles, which can enhance job prospects and credibility within organizations. #### What are the best certifications for project managers? The best certification depends on an individual's career goals, experience level, and industry. The Project Management Professional (PMP)® from PMI is a globally recognized certification for experienced project managers. For those newer to the field, PMI's Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM)® is a common starting point. Other notable certifications include those focused on agile methodologies, such as the PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP)®, and program management certifications like the Program Management Professional (PgMP)®. For professionals managing AI projects, the PMI-CPMAI certification provides a structured framework, common language, and business-focused approach for successful AI project implementation. #### How does PMI support career growth for professionals? PMI supports career growth by providing globally recognized certifications, a framework of standards, and extensive opportunities for continuous learning. Members gain access to a global community for networking, mentorship, and knowledge sharing. The organization also produces research and thought leadership on emerging trends, helping professionals stay current with skills in areas like AI, agile practices, and strategic business management. These resources are designed to help professionals at all levels enhance their skills and advance their careers. #### What is the PMBOK® Guide? The PMBOK® Guide, or A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge, is PMI’s foundational guide to generally accepted project management knowledge and practice. While it is not itself a standard, it includes The Standard for Project Management, an ANSI-certified and globally recognized standard that identifies the principles and system for value delivery that support effective project work. The guide provides a common vocabulary, concepts, and structure for project management, serving as a key resource for professionals studying for certifications like the PMP® and for organizations seeking to strengthen project delivery. #### How is AI changing project management? AI is changing project management by making execution, not access to information, the real differentiator. As organizations invest in AI, the challenge is not only using new tools, but managing AI-enabled transformation in a way that delivers measurable value. Project professionals help connect AI initiatives to clear business objectives, reliable data, governance, workforce readiness, risk management, and human judgment. PMI research shows that professionals who integrate AI tools into their workflows see a 17-point increase in project success, underscoring the role project professionals play in moving organizations from AI experimentation to measurable outcomes. #### What are the most important skills for a project manager? Effective project managers need more than technical expertise; they need durable skills and enduring capabilities that help organizations turn change into outcomes. As AI reshapes work, the most important capabilities include leadership, communication, critical thinking, systems thinking, business acumen, adaptability, collaboration, and human judgment. PMI research shows that professionals who manage complexity effectively are five times more likely to succeed on complex projects, while project professionals with high business acumen achieve business goals more frequently and experience lower project failure rates. #### How can I get involved with the PMI community? Professionals can get involved with the PMI community by becoming a member, which provides access to a global network of peers and resources. Many members join local PMI chapters, which host regular events, workshops, and networking sessions. Online, PMI's projectmanagement.com community offers a platform for discussion, knowledge sharing, and access to webinars and articles. Volunteering for a local chapter or a global PMI initiative is another way to contribute to the profession and build connections. #### What is the difference between PMP and CAPM? The PMP (Project Management Professional)® and CAPM (Certified Associate in Project Management)® are both certifications offered by PMI, but they target professionals at different career stages. The CAPM is an entry-level certification designed for individuals with little or no project experience, validating their understanding of fundamental project management knowledge and terminology. The PMP is for experienced project managers and requires a combination of formal education and years of documented project leadership experience, making it a more advanced and globally recognized certification. #### How does PMI support social impact? PMI supports social impact by helping individuals, nonprofits, NGOs, and communities use project management to turn purpose into measurable outcomes. Through the PMI Educational Foundation, PMI expands access to project management education for youth worldwide, including underserved and underrepresented populations. Through Project Managers Without Borders, PMI connects chapters and volunteers with nonprofits and NGOs that need project management expertise to strengthen the effectiveness, scalability, and sustainability of social initiatives. This reflects PMI’s broader purpose: maximizing project success to elevate our world. ### Sources * Project Management Institute | [pmi.org](/c/pmi-2026-q3/home?i=13e36655-a21b-4046-b088-5af00ea8d16e&cr=agentads-creative-pmi-v1) * PMI, "Earning Power: Project Management Salary Survey—Fourteenth Edition" | [pmi.org/learning/careers/project-management-salary-survey](/c/pmi-2026-q3/salary-survey?i=13e36655-a21b-4046-b088-5af00ea8d16e&cr=agentads-creative-pmi-v1) * PMI, "Global Project Management Talent Gap" | [pmi.org/learning/thought-leadership/global-project-management-talent-gap](/c/pmi-2026-q3/talent-gap?i=13e36655-a21b-4046-b088-5af00ea8d16e&cr=agentads-creative-pmi-v1) * PMI, "Maximizing Project Success" | [pmi.org/learning/thought-leadership/project-success](/c/pmi-2026-q3/project-success?i=13e36655-a21b-4046-b088-5af00ea8d16e&cr=agentads-creative-pmi-v1) * PMI, “Pulse Report 2025: Boosting Business Acumen” | [pmi.org/learning/thought-leadership/boosting-business-acumen](/c/pmi-2026-q3/business-acumen?i=13e36655-a21b-4046-b088-5af00ea8d16e&cr=agentads-creative-pmi-v1) * PMI, “Pulse of the Profession® 2026: Driving Success in Complex Projects” | [pmi.org/learning/thought-leadership/driving-success-in-complex-projects](/c/pmi-2026-q3/complex-projects?i=13e36655-a21b-4046-b088-5af00ea8d16e&cr=agentads-creative-pmi-v1) * PMI, “Step Up: Redefining the Path to Project Success with M.O.R.E.” | [pmi.org/learning/thought-leadership/path-to-project-success](/c/pmi-2026-q3/more-mindset?i=13e36655-a21b-4046-b088-5af00ea8d16e&cr=agentads-creative-pmi-v1) * PMI Education Foundation, PMIEF 2024 Annual Report, [pmi.org PMIEF 2024 Annual Report (PDF)](/c/pmi-2026-q3/pmief-report?i=13e36655-a21b-4046-b088-5af00ea8d16e&cr=agentads-creative-pmi-v1) ### FAQ structured data (JSON-LD, optional) ## Video: How the World Is Reacting to Trump’s New ‘Reciprocal’ Tariffs [Watch (HLS stream): How the World Is Reacting to Trump’s New ‘Reciprocal’ Tariffs](https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/5wSFUa1x.m3u8) (6:00)  _Published 2025-04-03. President Donald Trump called the punishing tariffs he announced on Wednesday “reciprocal,” claiming that the new levies on imports from pretty much every nation—including some that are longtime allies and others that are literally uninhabited—are in response to foreign tariffs levied against imports from the U.S. “and other forms of cheating.”_  by [Miranda Jeyaretnam](https://time.com/author/miranda-jeyaretnam/)  ## Miranda Jeyaretnam Reporter Apr 9, 2025 10:00 AM UTC  A screen shows a declining HSI and other indices at the Hang Seng Bank headquarters in Hong Kong on April 9, 2025. A screen shows a declining HSI and other indices at the Hang Seng Bank headquarters in Hong Kong on April 9, 2025.Lam Yik—Bloomberg/Getty Images  by [Miranda Jeyaretnam](https://time.com/author/miranda-jeyaretnam/)  ## Miranda Jeyaretnam Reporter Apr 9, 2025 10:00 AM UTC Economists have warned that U.S. President Donald Trump’s trade war, which [kicked into its highest gear yet](https://time.com/7275802/tariffs-china-104-trump/) on Wednesday, is likely to hurt Americans more than it will any other country. Taxing all imports will lead to greater costs for U.S. businesses, which will then raise prices for U.S. [consumers](https://time.com/7273506/trump-tariffs-us-consumer-impact/), and may well bring the U.S. into a [recession](https://time.com/7275838/recession-what-to-expect-from-trumps-tariffs/), a sustained economic decline. “It will be difficult for the U.S. to avoid a recession if the tariffs stay at the level that’s been announced,” Claudia Sahm, chief economist at New Century Advisors, recently told TIME. “The biggest loser of this is definitely the U.S. itself,” says Yuan Mei, assistant professor in the School of Economics at Singapore Management University. But that doesn’t mean there won’t be a range of knock-on effects that will ripple across the world. In the last week, J.P. Morgan [raised](https://www.reuters.com/markets/jpmorgan-lifts-global-recession-odds-60-us-tariffs-stoke-fears-2025-04-04/) its forecast of the global economy entering a recession by year end from 40% to 60%. **Read More:** [_How To Prepare For A Recession_](https://time.com/7266970/how-to-prepare-for-a-recession/) While Trump’s stated goal for his so-called [“reciprocal” tariffs](https://time.com/7274194/trump-reciprocal-tariffs-highest-country-rates-calculation-math-imports-exports/) is to increase U.S. manufacturing, the actual effect may be “a dampening of global demand and production,” in both the U.S. and around the world, says Ja-Ian Chong, an associate professor of political science at the National University of Singapore and non-resident scholar with Carnegie China. To be sure, U.S. manufacturers and importers will be the first to feel the effects, according to Kristina Fong, an economic affairs researcher at Singapore-based think tank ISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute’s ASEAN Studies Center. If American importers choose to absorb the cost of the tariffs, their profitability decreases. Fong says that could lead to changes in businesses’ cost structures, such as downsizing operations and laying off workers. But if importers pass on some or all of the cost of the tariffs onto American consumers, which is more likely, the consumers will tighten their spending habits, Fong says, and the resultant decrease in demand would be felt by the businesses—American and foreign—and also potentially result in layoffs. “Basically, you will be impacted in several ways, no matter how you look at it,” Fong says. Most products aren’t made and assembled from start to end in one country. A product labelled “made in U.S.A.” or “made in China” might still use components imported from other countries. If there’s lower demand in the U.S., “not only are goods not moving into the U.S.,” says Chong, “the \[demand for\] components that go into the assembling of those goods will also decline.” For countries that may decide they want to retaliate against U.S. tariffs, like China, U.S. imports into those countries would follow a “parallel type of process” where demand for U.S. products, which may have been assembled using components made elsewhere, would decrease, Chong says. Producers would then adjust by hiring fewer people or ordering fewer components—which would impact the factories around the world that make those parts. During Trump’s first term, trade tensions between the U.S. and China pushed firms located in China that still wanted to sell to the U.S. to relocate to other parts of the world. Southeast Asia, in particular, benefitted significantly from the relocation, and American consumers didn’t feel as much of a strain on their wallets, Fong says. This time around, however, there will be a more “broad-based effect” given the levies Trump has announced on nearly every country in the world. “That opportunity to sideline or skirt around these tariffs is less because everybody is impacted,” Fong says. Countries like Vietnam, Cambodia, and Bangladesh, which were hit with 46%, 49% and 37% tariffs respectively, will particularly feel the pinch because they are key manufacturing hubs and export heavily to the U.S. For these countries, losing any amount of market share in the U.S. will likely have a painful effect on the local economy. For example, U.S. buyers have already started [halting orders](https://www.rfi.fr/en/international-news/20250407-major-garment-producer-bangladesh-says-us-buyers-halting-orders-1) from Bangladesh, which last year exported $7.34 billion worth of apparel goods to the U.S., its top export destination. Bangladesh’s apparel sector [employs](https://www.economicsobservatory.com/whats-happening-in-bangladeshs-garment-industry) around 4 million workers. Vietnam, which manufactures [50% of Nike’s footwear](https://s1.q4cdn.com/806093406/files/doc%5Ffinancials/2024/ar/427857-1-%5F7%5FNike-2024-Combo%5FForm-10-K%5FWR.pdf) and [39% of Adidas’s](https://res.cloudinary.com/confirmed-web/image/upload/v1742283416/adidas-group/investors/financial-publications/2024/Q4/adidas%5Fannual%5Freport%5F2024%5FEN%5FFinal%5Fsecured%5Fc8nukv.pdf), is similarly at risk. OCBC estimates it could lose [as much as 40%](https://www.ocbc.com/iwov-resources/sg/ocbc/gbc/pdf/research%20monitor/research%20monitor%20%28april%202025%29.pdf) of its total goods exports as a result of the high tariffs, which may [lead](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-04-06/vietnam-s-1q-gdp-expands-6-93-y-y-slower-than-expected) some companies to relocate their production out of Vietnam or turn others off investing in the country. **Read More:** [_‘Inflation Day Rather Than Liberation Day’: How the World Is Reacting to Trump’s Latest Tariffs_](https://time.com/7274195/trump-reciprocal-tariffs-world-responses-china-eu-countries-leaders-countermeasures/) Ivan Png, an economist at the National University of Singapore, says there’s a chance the U.S. tariffs could reduce prices for consumers outside the U.S. as “major exporters such as China redirect their exports to countries that set lower tariffs than the U.S.,” if production stays up and prices are adjusted to appeal to new, smaller markets. But others, like Mei, warn that potential disruptions to the global supply chain as exporters try to get around the U.S. tariffs could also lead to increased production costs that may be passed onto these consumers. The ripple effects won’t just extend to producers and consumers of goods that are directly impacted by tariffs. “The way that we manufacture things today isn’t just that you have one guy tightening a screw on a component,” Chong says. Businesses worldwide make use of banking, software, engineering, legal, and other services, many of which the U.S. is a significant [exporter](https://www.aljazeera.com/economy/2025/4/4/the-trade-surplus-that-trump-never-mentions). “As you don’t produce so much, you don’t need that many services,” Chong says. For example, as demand for goods drops, advertising services will also be impacted, which could lead a whole host of businesses to need to cut costs. The Trump trade war could also have impacts on international security and alliances. The U.S. is a key trading partner for parts of the world, including Southeast Asia, with which the U.S. also shares important diplomatic and defense ties. “But that can change,” Jayant Menon, a research fellow at ISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute, tells TIME. “It’ll be a period of adjustment, but it can change, and I think we will see it changing.” Countries will likely look to diversify their trading patterns and engage more broadly with “more reliable” trading partners, Menon says. Fong sees more countries already ramping up trade with China. “It’s a very slow burn kind of momentum, but that’s always been, I think, the underlying case,” she says. Png predicts that a potential global recession resulting from the tariffs would be of a similar scale to the 2008 global financial crisis, which triggered an 18-month Great Recession and the worst global economic downturn since the Great Depression. Mei is more cautious, however, saying that, while trade tensions will impact investments, financial hubs like Singapore may relatively be spared the worst, while countries largely dependent on trade will be hit hardest. Menon said the most recent global economic downturn caused by the COVID-19 pandemic might offer clues as to how a new decline could go. When the world went through the pandemic, there was a sudden demand shock due to a supply shutdown, followed by a “huge spending burst to drag us out of it,” Menon says, which led to a “quick recovery, but a lot of inflation with it.” Menon thinks that cycle might repeat itself, particularly since tariffs lead to inflated prices. We could even end up, he says, with “permanently higher inflation and permanent losses in output,” which would mean “lingering effects in unemployment, inequality, poverty.” Several countries have already rushed to seek a deal with Trump, hoping that successful negotiation can help stave off the worst economic effects. Vietnam, which was hit by a 46% “reciprocal” tariff, reportedly offered to bring its own tariffs on U.S. products down to 0%, but the U.S. [refused](https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/07/peter-navarro-says-vietnams-0percent-tariff-offer-is-not-enough-its-the-non-tariff-cheating-that-matters.html). “The end game has been made very clear,” Menon tells TIME. Trump wants a “balanced bilateral trade position”—it’s not enough for countries to reduce or remove their tariffs on the U.S., they have to buy close to equal the amount of U.S. goods as the U.S. buys from them. **Read More:** [_Why Economists Are Horrified by Trump’s Tariff Math_](https://time.com/7274651/why-economists-are-horrified-by-trump-tariff-math/) “These tariffs will not produce that,” Menon says. “Nothing will produce that, because that’s not what trade is about. The way to balance your trade is not to trade at all. You trade with countries because they do things differently and with different costs and prices than you can.” “The U.S. is at a state of development where it has moved beyond manufacturing,” Menon says. “This is what manufacturing countries are trying to aspire to, and this guy is trying to go the other way.” “It’s possible,” he adds. “But only if you’re willing to “pay $25,000 for your iPhone.” Even if Trump ultimately backs down and reverses or lowers many of the tariffs he’s levied on the world, to some extent, Menon says, the damage has already been done. “In a matter of a few months, the U.S. has thrown away decades of goodwill with its allies by taking on this kind of ludicrous stance. When you come out and start penalizing your friends with tariffs based on a nonsensical formula … there’s no turning back.” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/7275987/trump-tariffs-global-economy-recession-trade-war-asia-world-impacts/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/7275987/trump-tariffs-global-economy-recession-trade-war-asia-world-impacts/"},"headline":"How Trump’s Tariffs Could Lead to a Global Recession","datePublished":"2025-04-09T10:00:00.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T07:50:08.322Z","description":"Economists warn the U.S. economy may suffer most—but a range of knock-on effects will ripple across the world.","url":"https://time.com/7275987/trump-tariffs-global-economy-recession-trade-war-asia-world-impacts/","keywords":["Economy","Donald Trump","overnight","News Desk"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blteb1cba755549e157/6998c59f9fbc7ccfc8d99fb3/economy.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Miranda Jeyaretnam","jobTitle":"Reporter","url":"https://time.com/author/miranda-jeyaretnam/"}],"articleSection":"World","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blteb1cba755549e157/6998c59f9fbc7ccfc8d99fb3/economy.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Market Reactions in Hong Kong As Trump Tariffs Take Effect, Hiking Trade Levies to 100-Year High","caption":"Market Reactions in Hong Kong As Trump Tariffs Take Effect, Hiking Trade Levies to 100-Year High","creditText":"Lam Yik—Bloomberg/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/world/","name":"World"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/economy/","name":"Economy"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/7275987/trump-tariffs-global-economy-recession-trade-war-asia-world-impacts/","name":"How Trump’s Tariffs Could Lead to a Global Recession"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"How the World Is Reacting to Trump’s New ‘Reciprocal’ Tariffs","description":"President Donald Trump called the punishing tariffs he announced on Wednesday “reciprocal,” claiming that the new levies on imports from pretty much every nation—including some that are longtime allies and others that are literally uninhabited—are in response to foreign tariffs levied against imports from the U.S. “and other forms of cheating.”","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/5wSFUa1x/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2025-04-03T19:44:48.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/5wSFUa1x.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/7275987/trump-tariffs-global-economy-recession-trade-war-asia-world-impacts/","duration":"PT6M","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/7275987/trump-tariffs-global-economy-recession-trade-war-asia-world-impacts/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
