IMF spokesperson Julie Kozack said the global economy has remained resilient after six months of war in the Middle East, absorbing the energy shock better than feared. Global growth remains on track at around 3%, she said, while uncertainty is still high.
The IMF says the global energy shock triggered by the war involving the United States, Israel and Iran has not been overcome. Oil, gas, diesel and jet-fuel prices remain high, while traffic through the Strait of Hormuz is at one-tenth of pre-war levels. Reserve use, rising AI-related demand and the approaching Northern Hemisphere winter could add pressure.
