IMF chief warns that a prolonged Iran war will have a huge impact on the global economy

IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva has warned that if the war against Iran continues until 2027 and oil prices remain at $125 per barrel, the global economic situation could worsen even more than before.

She said that the IMF had previously predicted that the US and Israel’s war against Iran would cause a slight slowdown in global economic growth and a slight increase in inflation, but given the current situation, these estimates are no longer accurate and the situation could be more serious than previously estimated. The combination of a long war and high oil prices could put a very heavy burden on economies around the world, especially on countries that rely on oil imports.
