As the World Economic Forum publishes its latest Chief Economists Outlook, Maersk's Head of Macro & Market Insights Ilaria Maselli gives her view on the state of the global economy. The closure of the Strait of Hormuz, "the aorta of global fossil fuel trade", is one of the "biggest crises" in the history of capitalism, with huge implications for economies around the world, Maselli says. And we discuss how the impact of the Hormuz crisis compares to the shock that the COVID pandemic imposed on the world, in terms of economic growth and inflation.

India’s poor air is driving much needed investment away from the country. Synopsis: The Straits Times’ senior columnist Ravi Velloor distils 45 years of experience covering the Asian continent, with expert guests. There was a time when China was thought to have the world’s most polluted cities. However, Beijing’s sustained efforts have overturned that situation. Instead, when the question of polluted cities comes up, eyes turn to India now. According to the noted Harvard economist Gita Gopinath, a former top IMF official, poor air quality is driving investment away from India and is causing more damage to its economy than US President Donald Trump’s tariffs. There is enough policy experience, and scientific knowledge, to mitigate the situation. Indeed, India has within itself some of the world’s best scientific brains. The question is whether it has the political will to take the right measures, including pricing essential services such as water appropriately to curb overuse and wastage. In this wide-ranging conversation, host Ravi Velloor speaks with Chandran Nair, the Malaysian-born, founder and CEO of Hongkong-based Global Institute for Tomorrow on how India could take cues from China to fix its foul air and water. Mr Nair, a biochemical engineer who in 1994, set up the first foreign environment consultancy in China. He is also a frequent traveller to China and India. He is also a sceptic of the consumption-based growth model that he says is causing irreparable damage to the environment.

The closure of the Strait of Hormuz is like a ticking time bomb for the global economy, disrupting the flow of energy and rippling through industries from agriculture to semiconductors. How bad could it get? The International Monetary Fund has cut its forecast for global growth this year from 3.4 percent to 3.1 percent in the best-case scenario and 2 percent in the worst case. What countries will be the most affected, and what can they do to protect themselves? Gita Gopinath, an economics professor at Harvard University who was formerly the first deputy managing director of the IMF, joins FP Live to discuss.

Rising energy prices, higher inflation, and growing economic uncertainty — a Harvard economist says the fallout from the Iran war is already being felt. On the GZERO World Podcast, Ian Bremmer sits down with Harvard economist and former IMF Deputy Managing Director Gita Gopinath to unpack how the conflict is rippling through the global economy. As oil and gas prices surge, inflation is climbing, adding new costs for households and businesses and putting pressure on growth worldwide. Gopinath explains that while the immediate hit to global growth may seem modest, the bigger concern is longer-term “structural damage”—the slow-moving economic shifts caused by trade fragmentation, strained alliances, and geopolitical conflict. They also discuss why the US may be more insulated than other economies, how China is positioning itself for a more fragmented world, and whether the recent boom in AI investment can offset some of the economic drag. As inflation rises and global economic ties continue to shift, what comes next may matter even more than the immediate shock.

Who bore the cost of 2025's sweeping tariffs? UChicago economist Brent Neiman returns to The Pie to discuss his new research with co-author Gita Gopinath examining the effects of last year's tariffs. Neiman reveals a gap between statutory rates and what was actually collected, explains why US importers absorbed the vast majority of costs, and discusses China's dramatic collapse as a US trading partner. He also explores the longer-term implications, including potential retaliation, shifting global alliances, and diplomatic costs that may outlast any short-term revenue gains.

In de Financial Times analyseerde IMF-hoofdeconoom Gita Gopinath waarom 2025 economisch gezien onverwacht goed uitpakte. Dat is volgens macro-econoom Edin Mujagic een vraag die veel economen en niet-economen bezighoudt. Hoewel de wereldeconomie er goed voor lijkt te staan, is er volgens hem sprake van een ‘fragiele situatie’. ‘De gevolgen voor de economie moeten voor een groot deel misschien nog komen.’ De verwachting was dus dat 2025 een economisch catastrofaal jaar zou worden. Waarom? Omdat de Verenigde Staten begin dat jaar een nieuwe president kregen en er allerlei maatregelen kwamen, waaronder veel hogere importheffingen. De vrees was, en voor velen ook de overtuiging, dat dit behoorlijke schade zou opleveren voor zowel de Amerikaanse economie als de wereldeconomie. Toch moeten we begin 2026 vaststellen dat van die schade weinig zichtbaar is geworden. Sterker nog, de Amerikaanse economie heeft een keurig jaar achter de rug en ook de wereldeconomie is behoorlijk gegroeid. Dat roept de fundamentele vraag op of we in een nieuwe economische werkelijkheid zijn beland en of de bekende economische natuurwetten nog wel gelden.

A lot has happened in the global economy since 2019, and few people know that better than Gita Gopinath. As the IMF Chief Economist and subsequently the institution's First Deputy Managing Director, she navigated unprecedented global crises, including the pandemic and the ensuing great lockdown, wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, inflation, and geopolitical fragmentation. Her career as a Professor at Harvard University was put on hold to take on those IMF roles, but now she's back. How will the 2025 version of Professor Gopinath compare to the 2018 version? In this podcast, Gita Gopinath reflects on her experiences at the Fund and what she's taking back with her to Harvard. Transcript: https://bit.ly/4npTyR5

In Kyiv, the war against Russia's invasion plays out not only through airstrikes and drones, but also through culture. Well before his full-scale invasion, President Putin was clear in his ahistorical belief that Ukraine is a made-up country, rightfully part of greater Russia. Our first guest, Victoria Nuland, was in Kyiv during the Maidan protests in 2013-14, meeting with pro-democracy protesters as well as then-President Yanukovych. This was the first of many such visits since then. It was just last month that the current Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs was in Kyiv for talks and she joins Christiane from Washington to discuss U.S. support for Ukraine.  Also on today's show: Sergey Markov, Director, Institute of Political Studies in Moscow / Former MP, United Russia; Oleksiy Goncharenko, Member of the Ukrainian Parliament; Gita Gopinath, First Deputy Managing Director, IMF  Learn more about your ad choices.

Volgens het IMF gaat het nog lang duren voordat de inflatie terug is op het oude niveau. Dat heeft Gita Gopinath gezegd, de 'nummer twee' van het IMF, tijdens een bijeenkomst in het Portugese Sintra. Het was slechts één van de in totaal drie benoemde ongemakkelijke waarheden die het IMF voorspiegelde. 'Daar moeten we iets mee', zegt macro-econoom Edin Mujagic. Naast het tijdspad benoemde Gopinath ook de aanpak van de inflatie en de daarbij behorende spanningen. De noodzakelijke verhoging van de rentes kan immers zorgen voor financiële instabiliteit. Daarnaast ging de adjunct-directeur-generaal in op de rol van de centrale banken. Die zullen waarschijnlijk gedurende een langere periode een hoge inflatie moeten tolereren. 'Drie ongemakkelijke waarheden', zegt Mujagic. IMF-econoom Gita Gopinath. Volgens het IMF gaat het nog lang duren voordat de inflatie terug is op het oude niveau. Het was slechts één van de in totaal drie benoemde ongemakkelijke waarheden die het IMF voorspiegelde. (ANP / Associated Press)Centrale banken verhogen rentes Maar het verhaal dat Gopinath vertelt is niet geheel nieuw. Zowel de ECB als de Fed hebben de afgelopen tijd meerdere keren aangegeven dat ze de rente moeten verhogen. En ook de Bank of England besloot vorige week om de rente opnieuw te verhogen. 'Daar moeten wij iets mee doen', zegt Mujagic. Lees ook | ECB verhoogt rente in juli Die boodschap kwam nagenoeg simultaan met het IMF-betoog van de topman van de Bank voor de Internationale Betalingen, de Mexicaan Agustín Carstens. 'Hij zei dat inflatie weliswaar een gevolg is van de oorlog in Oekraïne, maar dat de steun vanuit de overheden en de aarzelingen bij de centrale banken hier ook een rol spelen. Die moeten hier iets aan doen', zegt Mujagic. Daarom denkt de macro-econoom dat er ruimte is voor een vierde ongemakkelijke waarheid. 'Centrale banken verhogen de rentes om de inflatie aan te pakken. Dat remt de economische groei en dat is pijnlijk voor mensen. Overheden gaan die pijn echter compenseren en dan belanden we in een vicieuze cirkel die niets oplost.' Daarom denkt Mujagic dat overheden moeten stoppen met compenseren en dat de centrale banken moeten doorgaan met het verhogen van de rente. Lees ook | 'Overheid moet stoppen met stimuleren' Het is een ongemakkelijke maar waarheidsgetrouwe conclusie, denkt Mujagic. Gopinath zei overigens wel het vertrouwen te hebben dat de centrale bankiers deze taak met succes kunnen uitvoeren. 'Ondanks alle mooie woorden, gelooft men nog steeds in sprookjes.'  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

David Malpass, World Bank President, says the developing world is under "giant pressure" from debt. Gita Gopinath, IMF First Deputy Managing Director, says the balance of risks facing the world economy remain tilted to the downside. Paolo Gentiloni, EU Commissioner for Economy, says Europe is on track to rebalance China trade. Tobias Adrian, IMF Director of Monetary and Capital Markets, says there's certainly evidence in the data of some contraction in lending. Raghuram Rajan, Chicago Booth Professor of Finance, Former IMF Chief Economist & Former Reserve Bank of India Governor, says longer-term growth "doesn't look good." See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

“My fear is that we are sleepwalking into this world. But hey, here is Davos! Wake up! Do the right thing!” That's the rallying cry of Kristalina Georgieva, managing director of the International Monetary Fund, imploring the global elite at this week's World Economic Forum to be vigilant as an almost unrivaled list of perils weighs on the world's leaders. Recession looks set to sweep across the globe, nations are leaning more heavily on coal amid tight energy supplies and the cost of servicing debt is soaring. Getting things wrong, Georgieva says, means dragging the “world into a place where we'll be all poorer and we would be less secure.” In this week's episode of the Stephanomics podcast, host Stephanie Flanders chats with a star-studded list of international economists, finance ministers and corporate chieftains from Davos, Switzerland. Gita Gopinath, first deputy managing director of the IMF, explains why finance ministers and central bankers are caught in an almost impossible dilemma: High inflation requires central bankers to raise interest rates to cool the economy, even as governments spend more to help consumers hurting from soaring energy and food costs. Longer term, real interest rates may stay high unless countries can get more targeted with their relief programs, instead of spreading assistance universally, argues Raghuram Rajan, a finance professor at the University of Chicago and former governor of the Reserve Bank of India. The US overspent during the pandemic, partly because “every constituency got a share of the spending simply because they couldn't make choices,” Rajan says. Next, Flanders has a decidedly more upbeat chat with Nandan Nilekani, chairman of Indian tech giant Infosys Ltd. With news that China's population has declined for the first time in decades, India is set to become the world's most populous country. What's more, Nilekani sees the country benefiting from manufacturers seeking an alternative to China, spooked by the latter nation's repeated factory shutdowns amid its Covid-zero policy. Per capita incomes may grow from $3,000 now to $15,000 in the next 25 years, and “that's much more than a middle-income country,” Nilekani says. Finally, Nela Richardson, chief economist at US-based payroll and business outsourcing firm Automatic Data Processing Inc., says real wages have declined across the world recently, even if nominal wage gains have created a myth that workers are “in the driver's seat.” Businesses would benefit from paying workers a living wage, which despite the apparent expense actually results in better productivity and lowers costs, Richardson tells Flanders. “Will inflation moderate enough and wages stay solid enough that workers actually benefit from lower inflation? We don't know that yet,” Richardson says.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

With inflation soaring and real wages falling, an expert panel asks: Have we seen the worst of inflation? Will the cost of living crisis get worse before it better? What role will productivity play?

Buckle up. Global financial leaders warn that the current era of expensive money is likely to stick around for at least another year, and maybe longer. Easing up on interest rates now would only embed high inflation in people's assumptions, and "that's where it becomes very long-lasting," says former UBS Group AG Chairman Axel Weber. In this special edition from the Bloomberg New Economy Forum in Singapore, three experts in banking and monetary policy share with host Stephanie Flanders why central bankers will be battling inflation in the short term as well as the long. In the US, there's little doubt the Federal Reserve will bump up interest rates again this year, says Gita Gopinath, first deputy managing director of the International Monetary Fund. "For 2023, the question is more about how long are you going to keep these rates at the levels that they've moved them to. And we see a need to keep it at over 4% for all of 2023 to be able to bring inflation down durably,'' Gopinath said. Globally, changes in the supply chain and the transition to a greener economy will drive up energy costs and could lead to structurally higher inflation, said Davide Serra, chief executive of asset manager Algebris Investments. As usual, the poorest are most in jeopardy. Already, about 60% of low-income countries are in high-debt distress, Gopinath said, and while a systemic debt crisis has yet to materialize, she warns these are "very risky times."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Gita Gopinath, IMF First Deputy Managing Director, says nations are in for a “rocky ride” as they adjust to dollar strength. Raghuram Rajan, Former Central Bank of India Governor, says larger emerging market countries have become more prepared for a crisis by building up their FX reserves. Stephen Stanley, Amherst Pierpont Chief Economist, says a Fed pivot is not in the cards right now. Eric Freedman, US Bank Asset Management Chief Investment Officer, thinks it makes sense to dip into the front end of the treasury curve. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The recovery from the COVID-19 crisis has been deeply uneven within and between countries, depending on their access to fiscal resources and vaccines. Food, fuel and resource crises now risk further derailing an equitable recovery. How can a broader set of foundations for growth ensure long-term economic prosperity and a return to international convergence? This is the full audio from a panel discussion at Davos 2022 with Tom Keene, Managing Editor, Bloomberg Television & Radio; Jim Hagemann Snabe, Chairman, Siemens AG; Mariana Mazzucato, Professor, University College London (UCL); Gita Gopinath, First Deputy Managing Director, International Monetary Fund.
