IMF President: China will optimize epidemic prevention and control measures and the market will be more optimistic about global economic growth

According to Reuters on February 13, the President of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Christina Georgieva, said on the same day that the global financial market has sufficient reasons to be more optimistic about economic growth, based on the impact of positive factors such as China’s optimization of epidemic prevention and control measures.

Speaking at the 2023 World Government Summit, Georgieva said that the IMF predicted that global economic growth would slow down this year. But she also said that many positive factors, including China’s optimization of epidemic prevention and control measures, would bring unexpected good results to the global economy. Georgieva said that the market has sufficient reasons to be more optimistic. All market players have seen China optimize its epidemic prevention and control measures, and Chinese consumers also have huge consumption potential.

On the morning of February 13 local time, the 2023 World Government Summit officially opened in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The summit lasted three days, with more than 20 national leaders, representatives of more than 150 countries, and more than 250 government officials and business leaders participating.
