Kristalina Georgieva, IMF managing director, speaks on a panel at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

Global policymakers have made remarkable progress in tackling inflation without inducing a recession, but some work remains to be done, International Monetary Fund Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva said in Davos.

Staff from an International Monetary Fund (IMF) mission are in Argentina discussing a possible new debt deal, an economy ministry source told Reuters on Wednesday, confirming recent comments from the IMF chief about promising conditions for the talks.

Russia’s representative to the International Monetary Fund’s executive board has received permission by Washington to move to the US, a reprieve from sanctions imposed in response to the 2022 invasion of Ukraine.

The International Monetary Fund expects the world economy to grow a little faster and inflation to keep falling this year.

The U.S. economy will continue to be the developed world’s best performer in 2025 giving President-elect Donald Trump a running start on his plan to spur faster growth, the International Monetary Fund said.

The ongoing regional conflict has deepened Yemen’s already acute humanitarian and economic conditions, leading to further contractions in GDP and rising inflation.

The International Monetary Fund has warned that US economic policies under incoming president Donald Trump could hit the rest of the world and ultimately backfire on the US. The IMF says a threatened wave of tariffs could make trade tensions worse, lower investment, hit market pricing, distort trade flows and disrupt supply chains.

Strong economic growth continues, underpinned by robust domestic activity. Although the outlook is subject to heightened global uncertainty, ongoing reform efforts are expected to support medium-term growth and energy transition.

The humanitarian and economic situation in Yemen remains very difficult, the IMF said Thursday, noting that 17 million people remain in a situation of financial insecurity.

The International Monetary Fund’s executive board of directors is scheduled to meet this week to discuss Ethiopia’s latest review under a $3.4 billion loan.

Egypt's economy will grow by 4.0% in the year to the end of June as IMF measures continue to help improve its economic environment, a Reuters poll showed on Monday.
