It was a privilege to welcome President Ahmad al-Sharaa to the IMF. We discussed the economic transformation Syrians need & deserve—which his government is making possible. I reiterated IMF's readiness to help including through our existing technical support for key institutions.

The war in the Middle East has disrupted oil and gas flows. But the impact is far from even. Energy exporters face smaller headwinds, while countries hit by conflict or reliant on imports bear the greatest costs. The chart shows why policy space matters.

Not all imbalances are the same. Some reflect a country’s stage of development—but it is excessive imbalances that should concern us. This distinction shaped my discussion with Bank of England Governor, Andrew Bailey, Kristin J Forbes, Adam Posen, and Hélène Rey.
