The resumption of global economic growth has slowed significantly due to the shock of the war of the aggressor country Russia against Ukraine.

After strong growth of over 6% in 2021, the recovery has slowed significantly, mainly due to the shock of Russia’s war in Ukraine. We forecast these weak performances to continue, with global growth around 3% over the medium term. This is the lowest level of growth in a decade in an inflationary environment where interest rates are expected to stay higher for longer and in the context of growing risks of fragmentation, the IMF Managing Director told the 43rd Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Leaders’ Summit Kristalina Georgieva.
The head of the IMF pointed out that the global economy has shown resilience to a number of negative shocks – a pandemic, war, climate events and a crisis in the cost of living – and its recovery from these shocks continues.
Of the largest economies, only the United States has fully recovered. The eurozone is still about 2% below the trend, while China and other emerging markets are about 5% below the trend, and low-income countries have been hit even harder,” Georgieva said.
Earlier, the head of the IMF called on the leaders of the G20 member countries to strengthen the global financial safety net by continuing to fight inflation.
