IMF managing director Kristalina Georgieva said the consequences of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine was contributing to economic downgrades for 143 countries
The head of the International Monetary Fund warned Thursday that Russia’s war against Ukraine was weakening the economic prospects for most of the world’s countries and called high inflation “a clear and present danger” to the global economy.
