"Wars and conflicts are imposing a heavy humanitarian toll with significant economic cost and spillovers… Threat tensions and supply chain disruptions are increasing uncertainty and price pressures... These challenges are especially acute in low-income countries and fragile states," Al-Jadaan said following the 54th meeting of the committee in Bangkok. The global economy has weathered a series of recent shocks better than expected, but its buffer of resilience has noticeably shrunk, so the global economy's further ability to withstand new shocks is not guaranteed, the minister noted. Escalating conflicts, rising trade tensions, high levels of public debt and rising refinancing costs could increase economic and financial risks, the committee warned. Rapid technological change, demographic shifts and climate risks are putting additional pressure on the global economy, it noted.
