[IMF Managing Director: Global Economy Faces Multiple Risks] International Monetary Fund (IMF) Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva stated at a conference in New York on the 20th that while the global economy is more resilient than many anticipated, it still faces risks from persistent inflation, rising debt servicing costs, and overheated investment in artificial intelligence. "Risks are high, and uncertainty is the new normal," Georgieva said. She added that the IMF's latest World Economic Outlook report, scheduled for release in October, will reflect the continued high level of risks. Given these multiple risks, maintaining global economic growth at around 3% "would be a huge achievement." (Xinhua)
