IMF says Fed may revise forward guidance as global economy endures multiple shocks

International Monetary Fund spokesperson Julie Kozack told reporters that the U.S. Federal Reserve is considering changes to its forward‑guidance and other monetary‑policy communication tools. The IMF is closely monitoring the Fed’s work‑group on communication and looks forward to meeting with officials.

Kozack highlighted the resilience of the global economy despite a “negative supply shock” from the Middle‑East war that has pushed up energy, fertilizer and food prices, and a “positive demand‑side shock” driven by the technology cycle and artificial‑intelligence investment. She added, "We anticipate uncertainty will remain high," underscoring the IMF’s view that central banks may need to adapt their messaging as conditions evolve.
