国际货币基金组织（IMF）总裁格奥尔基耶娃敦促负债累累的政府勒紧裤腰带，并要求央行采取鹰派立场，这标志着紧缩政策的回归，因为伊朗战争引发的能源冲击、创纪录的公共债务以及信贷推动的人工智能投资热潮正拖累全球经济。
IMF chief Kristalina Georgieva has urged heavily indebted governments to tighten their belts and central banks to take a hawkish stance, signalling a return to austerity as the energy shock from the Iran war, record public debt and a credit-fuelled AI investment boom weigh on the global economy.
格奥尔基耶娃表示，全球公共债务正逼近国内生产总值的100%，她称这一趋势不可持续。IMF总裁建议各国政府削减公共开支，并敦促央行不要放松抗击通胀的力度。
Georgieva said global public debt is approaching 100% of gross domestic product, a trend she called unsustainable. The IMF chief recommended governments cut public spending and urged central banks not to ease up on fighting inflation.
这番言论发表之际，伊朗战争引发的能源价格冲击正推高全球通胀。格奥尔基耶娃强调，信贷推动的人工智能投资热潮正给金融系统带来额外风险，这意味着监管机构需要保持警惕。
The remarks came as the energy-price shock triggered by the Iran war pushes global inflation back upward. Georgieva stressed that the credit-fuelled AI investment boom is building additional risk into the financial system, meaning regulators need to stay vigilant.
IMF将在其年会上为发达经济体和新兴经济体分别发布建议。分析人士称，紧缩呼吁在政治上将难以落实，尤其是对于负债沉重的欧洲和新兴市场政府而言。
The IMF will issue separate recommendations for advanced and emerging economies at its annual meetings. Analysts say the austerity call will be politically difficult to implement, particularly for heavily indebted European and emerging-market governments.
