Lights and shadows from the IMF

IMF带来的光明与阴影
Core conclusion · Tlines extraction
Amundi reviews the IMF's World Economic Outlook, which raised 2026 global growth to 3.1% and 2027 to 3.4%, largely on AI investment. The IMF warns that resilience is not unlimited and urges a shift from coping to rebuilding: supply-side resilience, fiscal repair and price stability. In the US, September CPI reaccelerated to 3.7% year on year, with core at 2.6%, keeping Fed rate hikes on the table, while several ECB officials signalled further tightening may be needed.

Key arguments
- AI demand is likely to lift US inflation first, with productivity gains turning disinflationary only over time.
- The IMF raised 2026 growth to 3.1% and 2027 to 3.4%, largely on the AI investment boom.
- Resilience persists but room for adjustment is narrowing, with energy and commodity constraints risking more persistent inflation.
- Hotter US core inflation and ECB commentary keep further rate hikes in play.

Corresponding source evidence
In the US, AI is likely to have a sequential impact on inflation.
Strong demand will push inflation higher first, while productivity gains should become more disinflationary over time.
Together with geopolitical and energy pressures, this is likely to keep inflation above central bank target.
