Currently, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) evaluates the macroeconomic consequences of the US tariffs introduced by the United States, said the head of the IMF Kristalin Georgieva.
According to her, such measures are a serious risk for the global economic forecast.
“We continue to evaluate the macroeconomic consequences of declared tariff measures, but it is already obvious that during the period of slowdown in growth they represent a significant risk for the global economy,” she stressed.
Georgieva noted the importance of avoiding steps that can cause additional damage to the world economy, and also called on the United States and their trading partners to constructive cooperation to reduce tension and reduce uncertainty in world trade.
According to the head of the IMF, the final grades will be presented in a report on the prospects of the world economy, which will be published as part of the spring session of the IMF and the World Bank in April.
