IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva stated that the global economy has shown resilience against the energy shock from the Strait of Hormuz disruptions, partly due to robust AI investment. However, she cautioned about mounting fiscal pressures and the heightened risk of developing countries falling behind in AI adoption. These remarks were made ahead of the G-20 finance ministerial meeting.
