🇺🇸 IMF MEETINGS KICK OFF—JUST IN TIME FOR TRUMP TO MAKE ECONOMISTS SWEAT

Economists and finance bigwigs are flocking to D.C. this week for the IMF and World Bank spring meetings—and Trump’s latest tariff tantrum is stealing the spotlight.

IMF chief Kristalina Georgieva:

“It is important to avoid steps that could further harm the world economy.”

Translation: Please stop lighting fires we have to put out.

Everyone’s bracing for new global growth forecasts and a deep dive into how trade wars mess with markets.

Oh, and central bankers are giving speeches like it’s a TED Talk marathon—expect a lot of serious faces and vague economic metaphors.
