IMF warns of US tariffs’ threat to global economy

Kristalina Georgieva, Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund, said they are still assessing the macroeconomic implications of the tariffs announced by the United States.

She added, “However, they clearly pose a significant risk to the global economy at a time of slow growth… It is important to avoid any steps that could further damage the global economy.”

Kristalina called on the United States and its trading partners to work constructively to resolve trade tensions and reduce uncertainty.
