The IMF's managing director, Kristalina Georgieva, said a string of economic shocks have unleashed persistently high inflation and prompted a global cost-of-living crisis.

Pierre-Olivier Gourinchas, the IMF’s economic counsellor, said the organization was evaluating the potential for another commodity shock from the conflict.

According to Gourinchas, the impact of a 15% increase in the price of oil, combined with higher shipping costs, could result in a 0.7% increase in global inflation.
