Fed chair Kevin Warsh told the 2026 IMF and WBG annual meetings in Bangkok that
despite recent geopolitical shocks and widespread central-bank tightening to
curb inflation, many G20 economies have shown greater-than-expected resilience.
He said he is optimistic—while acknowledging some may call that naive—that the
US will emerge from this round of shocks stronger, with a firmer economic base
and greater capacity to lead global growth.
