IMF chief warns of surging debt and AI risks
Start here
IMF Managing Director Georgieva warned in Singapore that the global debt-to-GDP ratio has reached its highest level since World War II and will rise to 100% in the coming years, and that countries need to implement credible medium-term fiscal consolidation and be prepared for a hawkish monetary policy stance. Citing IMF research, she said AI, if effectively deployed, could contribute 0.5 percentage points to global economic growth, but risks of large-scale job losses, cyber and stability risks, and the possibility that frontier models could slip beyond human control must be addressed.
