The Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Kristalina Georgieva, has said that the global economy is holding up—but uncertainty is high.
She says the Global Policy Agenda calls for reforms, strong institutions, and coordinated actions to defuse trade tensions and address excess global imbalances. While change creates challenges, it also presents opportunities.
In a post on her X page, she said that the global economy is undergoing a profound transformation, with major changes in the international frameworks that have long underpinned it.
Sweeping policy shifts across many areas are reshaping economies and testing their resilience, she said.
As countries navigate this transformation, she said, the priorities are to preserve macroeconomic and financial stability and to work together to ensure the smooth functioning of the global economy.
“The IMF stands ready to support them through tailored policy advice, capacity development, and financing when necessary,” she assured.
Madam Geogieva added that guided by the medium-term direction outlined in the Spring 2025 Global Policy Agenda, the IMF is modernising policy frameworks and internal processes to remain an agile and focused institution that responds to the evolving needs of members, now and over the medium and long term.
