Saudi Finance Minister Mohammed Al-Jadaan, speaking as chair of the IMF’s
International Monetary and Financial Committee (IMFC), said the global economy
has shown "extraordinary resilience" despite war, energy and food‑security
threats, elevated public debt and risks from rapid AI development. He warned
IMFC members there is "no room for complacency" and urged fiscal authorities to
rebuild fiscal buffers while protecting vulnerable groups and prioritizing
growth‑supporting investment.
