IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva said 'uncertainty is the new normal' as the global economy faces trade barriers, geopolitical tensions, and rapid technological shifts. Despite these headwinds, she noted that global growth remains resilient at around 3%, driven by strong labor markets and steady consumption. Georgieva urged policymakers to balance fiscal prudence with innovation-friendly reforms to sustain momentum, warning that uneven recoveries and inflation risks could widen global economic disparities if not addressed.
