What happened
Policymakers from over 100 countries gathered in Bangkok for the International Monetary Fund’s annual meeting. Despite geopolitical chaos stemming from the war in Ukraine and the war in Iran, the global economy showed surprising resilience, buoyed by the AI investment boom and avoiding a massive synchronized crisis. However, IMF experts warned that this resilience was achieved at a cost and may not be sustainable.

Why it matters
The IMF’s World Economic Outlook indicates that while the global economy has defied severe shocks, the underlying strain from geopolitical conflict and high energy costs suggests future risks. This situation requires urgent choices from nations to maintain stability.
