What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

At the 81st United Nations General Assembly, Kristalina Georgieva, head of the International Monetary Fund, warned that advanced economies must reduce debt and borrowing levels. She stated that global economic shocks, fueled by wars and oil supply disruptions, have caused government interest costs to surge. Separately, Georgieva met with the President of Venezuela to discuss the country's economic stabilization and current macroeconomic challenges.

Georgieva warned that governments have taken insufficient action to contain rising debt service costs. This pressure is felt by nations like the U.K., where borrowing increased almost a fifth in August, and the U.S., whose national debt has surpassed $40tn.
