Is the global economy in better shape than we expected in 2024? The International Monetary Fund’s latest projections show growth holding up amid slowing inflation—but geopolitics could easily play spoiler.
The IMF’s First Deputy Managing Director, Gita Gopinath, says the world is at a turning point. In her latest essay for Foreign Policy, she writes that the risks of a fragmenting world driven by “friendshoring” and “de-risking” could end up overwhelming the benefits—and even lead to a new Cold War.
