„Iarna se apropie” / FMI avertizează asupra prelungirii șocului energetic și a consumului uriaș generat de AI / ”Datoria publică depăşeşte maximele înregistrate după al Doilea Război Mondial”

Kristalina Georgieva, the IMF's managing director, warned that the energy shock from the closure of the Strait of Hormuz is ongoing, with rising energy demands due to AI. She noted that while the global economy has absorbed the shock better than expected, significant divergences in economic trajectories remain. Risks include rising public debt, which is nearing 100% of global GDP, and stagnation in disinflation processes. Georgieva emphasized the need for clear economic policies focusing on price stability and credible fiscal consolidation plans. Structural policies should aim to reduce bureaucracy and enhance growth potential.
