Why it matters
The International Monetary Fund reported that global trade increased by 8.3 percent between 2023 and 2025. The fund's chief economist, Silvana Tenreyro, noted that this growth would be closer to 4.6 percent without AI-related products. Officials also cautioned against over-reliance on AI investment.
Tiff Macklem, representing the Bank of Canada, warned about risks affecting global financial stability.
