Kristalina Georgieva expressed concerns about the dual external shocks from El Niño and rising energy prices due to geopolitical tensions. She urged governments to be cautious with budget resources and avoid excessive energy subsidies. The IMF also highlighted the need for fiscal consolidation and careful targeting of support to those in need.
