Now the focus shifts to issues arising from the developed world, the "biggest culprits" in terms of debt, according to IMF director Kristalina Georgieva, but which may not remain limited there. Georgieva states that debt and energy, along with the AI boom that stimulates some economies but bypasses most, are the main themes of the week. #FMI #datorie #inflație (translated)

"The global economy is caught between a negative energy supply shock and a positive demand impact linked to artificial intelligence. The combined impact of these two forces is very uneven," Georgieva summarized. "To harness the transformational power of AI, it is crucial that access to it becomes widespread around the world. In a world as interconnected as ours, countries collaborate not out of charity but out of their own interest," Georgieva emphasized. "We have gone through a series of shocks: the COVID pandemic, the war in Ukraine, the inflation shock, a brutal rise in interest rates, and now, the energy shock. Each time, governments have come to the aid of households and businesses by resorting to credit and deepening the deficit," Georgieva recalled. #InteligenciaArtificial #FMI #CooperaciónInternacional (translated)
