IMF Warns of High Uncertainty for Global Economy Amid Six Months of US-Iran War

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) announced that the global economy has shown resilience despite six months of conflict between the United States and Iran, but significant uncertainty persists. IMF spokesperson Julie Kozack noted that the global economy is experiencing a negative supply shock from elevated energy and commodity prices, alongside a positive demand shock driven by the AI-driven technology cycle. Risks to the global economic outlook include a persistent energy shock, rising public debt, and a stalled disinflation process.
