# The International Monetary Fund is warning that the continued disruption from the Iran war is pushing the global economy toward a more “adverse” scenario, marked by weaker growth and higher inflation risks. It says global growth could slow to 2.5-percent, down from the 3.1-percent forecast in its baseline outlook. The blocking of the Strait of Hormuz, which normally sees about a fifth of global oil and gas supplies pass through it, has caused energy prices to skyrocket worldwide. The IMF says inflation expectations are still reasonably well anchored.
IMF warns if Iran war continues, it will bring global economy closer to “unfavourable” scenario
