The widening Middle East war, particularly the US-Israeli-led conflict with Iran, is a central concern, fueling energy supply shocks and inflationary pressures worldwide.
Public debt has reached post-World War Two highs, threatening global economic stability and disproportionately impacting emerging markets and low-income countries with rising interest rates and capital outflows.
Officials will confront a confluence of challenges including geopolitical crises, soaring commodity prices (oil, diesel, fertilizer), and the "super" El Niño effect, all contributing to economic instability.
