DID Press: Kristalina Georgieva, head of the International Monetary Fund, warned that a prolonged war poses serious risks to global economic stability.
Speaking at an event in Bangkok, she said the conflict “has the clear potential to impact global energy prices, market sentiment, growth, and inflation” if it continues. Georgieva added that the situation will place new demands on policymakers worldwide.
Her remarks highlight growing concerns that ongoing geopolitical tensions could strain international markets and test the resilience of the global economy.
The warning comes amid the ongoing U.S. and Israeli military actions in the Middle East against Iran, which have contributed to rising uncertainty in global energy and financial markets.
