IMF's Georgieva says global economy is absorbing energy shocks better than expected
IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva stated that the global economy has absorbed the energy shock resulting from the closure of the Strait of Hormuz better than expected. She noted a tension between the negative impact of energy supply disruptions in the Gulf and the growth-supporting effects of artificial intelligence investments, which are expanding beyond the United States.
Despite this resilience, Georgieva warned of significant economic headwinds, including high debt levels, persistent inflation, and trade tensions. She highlighted growing concerns regarding deteriorating fiscal situations in several countries, evidenced by rising bond yields and a slowdown in the disinflation process.
Georgieva cautioned that the energy shock is not over, noting that a new surge in oil prices could reignite inflation and force central banks to maintain restrictive monetary policies. She urged policymakers to implement reliable plans to ensure debt and deficit sustainability and called on central banks to remain focused on price stability.
