World economy has entered a recession 'as bad or worse' than the global financial crisis – IMF chief
IMF chief Kristalina Georgieva said it’s “clear” that the global economy has “entered recession” due to the evolving Covid-19 pandemic, and that the organization is working on projections to assess how severe it will be.
Georgieva said she expects the recession to be “quite deep.” Recovery is projected for 2021, but only if the virus can be contained, she said.
She said countries needed to step up their response measures aggressively, adding that the IMF has received a large number of requests for emergency financing. Georgieva said the international body has received pledges from Britain, Japan, and China for a “catastrophic containment and relief trust” for the poorest countries and that she hopes more will follow.
A key concern about a long- lasting impact of the sudden stop of the world economy is the risk of a wave of bankruptcies and layoffs that not only can undermine the recovery but can erode the fabric of our societies.
She predicted that emerging markets will need assistance of $2.5 trillion, and that estimate is “on the low end.” A practical approach will be needed to prevent indebted countries from “falling off the cliff,” she said.
Speaking about the US in particular, Georgieva said it will be absolutely necessary to cushion the world’s biggest economy and said the $2 trillion package of measures already agreed on by the Trump administration was a welcome step.

She said it is important to protect workers and families from sudden loss of income, and that it is also critical to protect companies.
The IMF boss also confirmed the body is working closely with the World Health Organization (WHO) to raise global production of critical medical equipment. She said China is an important source of health supplies and is stepping up production.
She predicted that the global recovery will be staggered, much like the way the pandemic hit countries one after the other.
Global confirmed cases of the Covid-19 virus surpassed 550,000 on Friday, with more than 25,000 deaths, according to a Johns Hopkins University tally. Europe is the current epicenter of the pandemic, with countries including Italy, France, Spain, and the UK in national lockdown mode in a bid to contain the spread.
The WHO said this week that the US, which has more confirmed cases than any other individual country, has the potential to become the next epicenter.

Tishwash: The Central Bank reassures depositors and confirms the protection of their funds.
The Central Bank of Iraq affirmed on Saturday that all depositors' funds in licensed banks are protected, while also stating that the Iraqi banking system possesses sufficient liquidity to efficiently manage its operations.
In a statement received by the Iraqi News Agency (INA), the bank clarified that "the Central Bank of Iraq's exercise of its powers to directly appoint supervisory or trusteeship committees to a licensed bank does not signify the bank's bankruptcy, as has been circulated on some social media platforms. Rather, these are precautionary and legal supervisory measures to ensure the bank's safety and the overall stability of its operations, and to protect depositors' rights in particular."

The Dinar Den: 9-3-2026
Global monetary systems are rarely static, continuously evolving through cycles of restructuring, technological innovation, and geopolitical readjustments.
Among the most discussed topics in modern currency analysis is the long-term trajectory of the Iraqi dinar and the broader economic framework supporting its potential revaluation.

Ariel: The Iraq Budget, What to Watch
9-4-2026
September 15: Council of Ministers receives the draft. Watch for the redenomination language. If the 2027 budget includes specific provisions for currency note replacement, denomination restructuring, or central bank account recalibration the mechanism is live. It’s not a rumor. It’s line items in a federal budget.
The budget will sit with the Council of Ministers for approximately one month. Amendments. Approval. Then parliament. That puts the parliamentary vote window in mid-to-late October. If the Clarity Act moves through Congress on a parallel track and September 15 is the convergence signal both could reach final vote within the same October window.
