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.
