IMF chief GEORGIEVA urged governments to tackle rising fiscal risks and publish credible plans to keep debt and deficits on a sustainable path, and called on central banks to remain highly focused on price stability.

GEORGIEVA warned the Iran war has not ended and the world faces a tug-of-war between a Middle East-driven negative supply shock and an AI-driven positive demand shock, and flagged energy supply constraints, El Niño weather and AI-related risks to financial stability as material downside risks.
