IMF warns global economy's resilience strained by costly subsidies

The global economy is showing surprising resilience despite significant geopolitical and economic shocks, according to the International Monetary Fund (IMF). However, the IMF warns that this resilience is strained and unsustainable, largely due to extensive government subsidies aimed at cushioning the impact of high energy prices and conflicts. These measures have led to record budget deficits and rising public debt, particularly in advanced economies, prompting the IMF to urge governments to repair their fiscal houses before further crises emerge.
