The Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Kristalina Georgieva, said global inflation is expected to continue its downward trend, forecasting a decline to 3.8 percent this year and further to 3.4 percent in 2027.
Speaking at a forum in Dubai on Monday, Georgieva attributed the projected drop to weakening global demand and falling energy prices, which have helped ease price pressures that surged in recent years.
Despite mounting geopolitical tensions and economic uncertainties, she noted that global economic performance has remained “remarkably” resilient, Al-Rai daily reports.
Georgieva highlighted that the world economy is undergoing profound structural shifts, including changes in geopolitical dynamics, trade policies, technological advancement, and demographic patterns.
Nevertheless, growth has held steady, reflecting the adaptability of economies and policymakers.
Her remarks come at a time when financial markets continue to react to global economic signals. Bitcoin fell to $75,250.89, while gold extended its losses to $4,469.29 per ounce, underscoring ongoing volatility across asset classes.
