PANews reported on April 18 that IMF Managing Director Georgieva stated in a speech before the Washington Spring Meetings that the trade "restart" and protectionist wave driven by the United States are increasing global uncertainty and may lead to an economic slowdown, but the global economy will not fall into a recession. She emphasized that although some countries may face intensified inflation, the overall economy remains resilient. The IMF will release its latest World Economic Outlook report on April 23 (next Tuesday).
