IMF: Global recovery outpaces expectations

The International Monetary Fund has confirmed that the global economy has managed to handle the energy supply disruptions caused by the war with Iran better than expected, despite increasing financial pressures in some countries. IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva pointed out that factors such as reducing oil and gas reserves by some countries, increasing energy supplies from outside the Gulf, declining demand, and the expanded use of renewable energy have all contributed to easing the energy crisis. She also noted that investments in artificial intelligence are boosting construction companies’ profits and maintaining consumer spending. However, economic risks still remain, especially if oil prices rise again, which could tighten monetary policy and impact financial market stability. She called on countries to address their financial issues and reduce reliance on debt, reminding that the future of artificial intelligence carries risks that could affect financial stability, particularly in low-income nations.
