The fund also said that "uncertainty" about economic growth was revealed amid elections around the world, as well as concerns about "significant swings" in the policies of new governments.
At the same time, the IMF forecasts that the world economy will grow by 3.2% in 2024, and a higher growth rate of 3.3% is expected in 2025.
