WASHINGTON, Sept. 11 (Xinhua) — The International Monetary Fund (IMF) said Thursday that the global economy has been resilient despite six months of war between the United States and Iran,…
On September 11, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) announced that the global economy has withstood six months of conflict between the United States and Iran, yet uncertainty persists. IMF spokesperson Julie Kozack stated that the economy has proven resilient, better withstanding the energy shocks than initially anticipated. However, Kozack emphasized that the level of uncertainty remains elevated.
The global economy is being influenced by a combination of negative and positive factors. On one hand, there is a supply shock due to increased energy and commodity prices. On the other hand, there is a demand shock resulting from the technology sector driven by artificial intelligence. Kozack highlighted that the impact of these forces varies across different economies.
The IMF and World Bank Group's 2026 Annual Meetings are set to be held in Bangkok, Thailand, from October 12 to 18. Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva indicated that resilience and dynamism are the primary topics of discussion at the meetings.
