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.

US President Donald Trump says he would offer $5,000 to every American adult if Republicans succeed in the November midterm elections. He links the payment to the party retaining control of both the House and Senate, although federal law bars payments made in exchange for votes.

Donald Trump has promised every American adult $5,000 if Republicans win November’s midterm elections. Analysts question whether the proposal is legal, affordable or workable. JD Vance suggested tariff revenue could fund it, but current receipts fall far short of the estimated $1.3tn cost, and Congress would likely need to authorise the spending.
US President Donald Trump has promised $5,000 to every adult US citizen if Republicans retain control of both chambers of Congress in November’s midterm elections. The payments could cost $1.3 trillion and add to the country’s $40 trillion debt. JD Vance says tariff revenue could fund them, while analysts say borrowing would ultimately be needed.
Donald Trump tied a promised $5,000 payment for every adult American to the outcome of November’s elections. At the first Republican midterm convention, the US president said the payment he termed the “Trump dividend” would be made if Republicans retain both chambers of Congress.
President Donald Trump opened the Republican midterm convention by attacking Democrats as extremists and strongly defending the war in Iran. He also pledged to pay every adult American $5,000 if Republicans retain control of both chambers of Congress after November, apparently seeking bold moves to revive the party’s prospects amid his low approval ratings.

President Donald Trump has promised to give every American adult $5,000 if Republicans retain control of both chambers of Congress in the midterm elections.

Donald Trump has pledged to give every American adult $5,000 if Republicans retain control of Congress in November’s midterm elections, in an extraordinary bid to influence voters before the November 3 polls.

The US president’s promise of a nationwide cash payout if Republicans win the midterm elections is adding uncertainty to the Treasury market before a 30-year bond auction. It is also reviving concerns over Washington’s fiscal discipline and unpredictable policymaking.

Russia’s federal budget recorded a deficit of 5.795 trillion rubles ($67.56 billion), equal to 2.5% of GDP, in January-August 2026, the Finance Ministry said. Revenues rose 9.2% year on year to 25.929 trillion rubles, while expenditures increased 14.7% to 31.724 trillion. Non-oil and gas revenues grew 18.1%, and August dividend income totaled 691 billion rubles.
Eighteen of 19 experts surveyed by TASS expect the Bank of Russia to leave its key rate at 14% at the September 11 meeting. Analysts say faster core inflation, fuel shortages, a weaker ruble and uncertainty over budget parameters are limiting room for further cuts, though a 25-basis-point reduction remains possible.
