The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has issued a stark warning about a \"dangerous divergence\" in global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. Speaking at the IMF’s Spring Meetings in Washington, Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva highlighted widening gaps between nations, with some economies rebounding faster while others lag due to vaccine access and fiscal challenges.

\"The world is at a critical juncture,\" Georgieva said, emphasizing that uneven recovery could deepen inequality and stall progress for years. She joined U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell to discuss strategies for global cooperation, urging wealthy nations to support vulnerable economies through debt relief and vaccine sharing.

The IMF’s warning comes as rising inflation and supply-chain disruptions add pressure to post-pandemic rebuilding efforts. Young professionals and entrepreneurs, take note: economic stability now hinges on collaboration, not competition. 🌐💼
