IMF warns of inflation risks
The International Monetary Fund has warned of escalating inflationary pressures, calling on countries to act quickly to contain rising inflation rates and reduce large fiscal deficits. The Fund's Managing Director, Kristalina Georgieva, emphasized that sharp increases in defense spending—especially following the energy shock caused by the military escalation in the Middle East—are fueling inflation and pressuring central banks to raise interest rates. Additionally, the IMF noted that the rise in oil prices is expected to continue until 2027, and that geopolitical tensions and the expanding use of artificial intelligence are accompanying increases in energy, food, and fertilizer prices, thereby impacting emerging economies.
