The recent IMF and World Bank meetings in Washington ended with lingering questions about U.S. tariffs and their potential impact on the global economy, as finance leaders sought clarity but left with more uncertainty. While some negotiations with trading partners like Japan and South Korea were described as 'productive,' no major agreements were reached. Concerns that U.S. tariffs could exacerbate economic challenges were voiced but largely ignored by U.S. officials, raising fears of increased debt crises, particularly in developing countries. The week concluded with an overall sense of unease about the economic outlook and a call for renewed focus on essential financial issues.
