Geopolitical developments around the US-Iran war remained in focus after President Donald Trump told Fox News on Tuesday that the Iran war is “very close to being over,” adding that peace talks are expected to resume.

At the same time, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) warned that the economic impact of the conflict was already materializing. The International Monetary Fund said in a blog post that the damage to the global economy is “already done,” pointing to rising uncertainty and shifting policy priorities.

The Middle East war, especially problems in the Strait of Hormuz, has halted the momentum that was building, even though the economy was strong beforehand and is expected to grow by 3.4% globally. Inflation is rising due to higher prices for goods and services, which are also causing supply chains to break down and demand to decline. There is a risk of wage-price spirals and tighter financial conditions.

Under the worst-case scenarios, growth is now expected to slow to 3.1% or less, while inflation rises. The most vulnerable economies will be hit the hardest, according to the IMF. Policymakers need to strike a balance between controlling inflation and providing targeted financial support. Analysts at the IMF also believe that the crisis shows how dangerous geopolitical risks can be, but it also shows how AI-driven productivity and a faster switch to renewable energy can help us stay strong in the long run.
