IMF Warning to the Global Economy on Inflation and Artificial Intelligence

International Monetary Fund Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva warned countries, stating that the global economy faces persistent inflation, high debt costs, and uncertainties brought by artificial intelligence investments.

Warning on the New Normal in the Global Economy

While acknowledging the stable growth of the global economy, the International Monetary Fund calls on countries to remain vigilant against the risks brought by the new normal.

Persistent Inflation and Debt Costs

Speaking at a special session of the Qatar Economic Forum in New York on September 20, Kristalina Georgieva stated that persistent inflation will not end anytime soon.

This situation makes it necessary for central banks to tighten monetary policy, and efforts to stabilize prices increase debt repayment obligations.

Financial Risks in Artificial Intelligence Investments

Managing Director Georgieva drew attention to the potential risks of using leverage and cyclical financing in artificial intelligence investments.

She warned that if investments fail to deliver expected results, a severe shock could occur in the system.

Regional Impacts and Economic Resilience

It was noted that the risks in artificial intelligence financing are primarily concentrated in the U.S., but many participants in Asia and Europe also take part in the supply chain.

Despite disruptions, the economy has shown a growth rate of approximately 3 percent, and governments have taken measures against issues in energy supply.
