[IMF Chief Warns of Rising Fiscal Risks, Urges Countries to Control Debt Deficits] According to a report by Golden Finance, on August 26, IMF Chief Kristalina Georgieva urged governments to address escalating fiscal risks, stating, 'All countries need to tackle their own fiscal issues and develop and announce credible plans to ensure debt and deficits are on a sustainable trajectory.' She also called on central banks to 'remain highly focused on their mandate of price stability.' Georgieva noted that the global economy is under pressure from high inflation and trade tensions, though growth driven by artificial intelligence investments has partially offset these shocks. However, rising bond yields and stagnant inflation declines indicate that the economic outlook remains highly uncertain. She stated that the energy shock triggered by the Iran war is not yet over, and the global economy is grappling with a tug-of-war between 'negative supply shocks from the Middle East' and 'positive demand shocks brought by artificial intelligence.' Georgieva further warned that energy supply, El Niño weather patterns, and the impact of AI on financial stability remain major risks.
