Deniz Igan, Division Chief in the International Monetary Fund (IMF)'s Research Department speaks during an AFP interview at the IMF Headquarters in Washington, DC, on July 7, 2026. The IMF on July 8, 2026, cut its 2026 growth projection for the world economy again, saying an AI boom has not fully offset the fallout from war in the Middle East. Deniz Igan, division chief at the IMF's research department, told AFP that its forecasts are "broadly unchanged" cumulatively for the next two years and described the bounceback as "a V-shaped recovery." The delayed recovery from war on Iran, longer disruptions and higher prices is part of the reason the world economy will take a bigger hit this year, she added.
