The Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund, Kristalina Georgieva, stated that if energy prices increase by 10% and continue for a year, it will lead to a global inflation rate increase of 40 basis points and a slowdown in economic growth of 0.1% to 0.2%. "The world economy has shown extraordinary resilience. Despite multiple shocks, economic growth has reached 3.3%," Georgieva said during an interview with Bloomberg TV's Haslinda Amin at the IMF conference "Asia 2050" held in Bangkok. "But this resilience is once again being tested."
