We cannot win against the climate crisis if each country works alone. As an environmental economist, I’m proud the IMF has adopted a climate strategy so together we can help countries cope w/ the effects of climate change & promote the green transition.

Higher interest rates are starting to bite w/ signs of progress on inflation. But optimism & easier financial conditions create a conundrum. Easing policy prematurely could risk inflation resurging - a tricky balance but policymakers must remain resolute. bit.ly/3wWUi7P

Our latest WEO update shows that 2023 will be another tough year for the global economy. But there is a glimmer of light: it could also be the year when we see turning points, with growth expected to bottom out and inflation to decline. imf.org/WEO-jan23
