PANews reported on April 18 that IMF Managing Director Georgieva pointed out in a speech before the spring meeting in Washington that the trade "restart" and protectionism wave driven by the United States are exacerbating global uncertainty and may lead to a downward adjustment in economic growth, but the world will not fall into recession. She emphasized that although some countries may face increased inflation, the overall economy remains resilient. The IMF will release the latest World Economic Outlook report on April 23 (next Tuesday).
