IMF warns global economy could test resilience limits amid low oil stocks and high debt

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has issued a stark warning that the global economy may soon face significant challenges to its resilience. In its latest World Economic Outlook, the IMF noted that while the economy has weathered recent geopolitical conflicts better than anticipated, the depletion of emergency oil reserves and high levels of government debt pose substantial risks. The report highlights that dwindling energy inventories and potential future geopolitical shocks could rapidly impact prices and supply chains, necessitating a focus on shoring up supply capacity and replenishing policy buffers.
