[World Bank Chief Economist Gill: The World Is Only 'Months Away' from the Worst-Case Scenario] According to a report by Golden Finance, on July 22, World Bank Chief Economist Gill stated that the world is only 'months away' from the worst-case scenario, during which global growth will slow to 1.3% and inflation will rise to 4.5%. Countries like the United States and India are largely shielded from the impact of the Iran war, but developing countries with high debt levels face greater risks. Debt vulnerabilities have been accumulating for years; some countries may require debt relief. An escalation of the Middle East war and supply disruptions could drive inflation higher and push interest rates up. The upcoming development report will provide the first comprehensive analysis of artificial intelligence readiness in developing countries. Developing countries are expected to benefit from artificial intelligence and related productivity gains.
