Gita Gopinath: Imbalances reflect unbalanced growth strategies in macro policies
Imbalances show unbalanced growth strategies

Gita Gopinath, first deputy managing director at IMF, argues that underlying macroeconomic policies need to be addressed to support growth, jobs, and inflation.

She adds that imbalances are a symptom of unbalanced growth strategies, a point highlighted in their recent G7 report.

Gopinath has recently discussed how factors such as the Iran conflict and developments in artificial intelligence are shaping the IMF's inflation outlook, noting that financial conditions remain strong despite persistent price concerns in recent comments. She has also joined calls to review central bank forward guidance set during the pandemic, as highlighted in her assessment of Federal Reserve policies. These perspectives have informed ongoing policy discussions at the IMF.
