Iran war already taking a toll on the global economy, IMF says in new forecast - The Washington Post
Overview
The IMF warns the Iran war is already slowing growth and lifting inflation, and it cut its 2026 growth forecast amid unusually high uncertainty. The April U.S. jobs report — showing a 115,000 payroll gain and 4.3% unemployment — suggests the U.S. labor market has so far held up, but continued energy-price pressure could keep inflation elevated and deepen the slowdown, reinforcing the IMF’s concern about a larger energy-market shock.
