flag IMF warns global economic uncertainty is the new normal amid tariffs, debt, and youth unrest.

flag IMF Chief Kristalina Georgieva warned that global economic uncertainty has become the "new normal," despite a 3% growth forecast for 2025, citing ongoing trade tensions, U.S. tariffs on nearly all trading partners, and rising gold prices signaling investor anxiety. flag She cautioned that full impacts of tariffs, inflation risks, and supply chain disruptions remain uncertain, while youth dissatisfaction is fueling policy shifts. flag The U.S. federal debt, now $37.64 trillion, is projected to grow by $3.4 trillion under current policies. flag The IMF urged reforms in Asia, Africa, and Europe, and called for U.S. action on debt and household savings ahead of the annual meetings.
