In an exclusive interview with CGTN's Yin Yue, International Monetary Fund (IMF) Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva doubled down on international collaboration as the ultimate solution to today's overlapping crises—from inflation spikes to geopolitical tensions.
Collaboration Over Competition
Georgieva compared global challenges to a 'multi-level puzzle' where 'no country can solve it alone.' She highlighted pandemic recovery efforts and climate financing as areas where nations must 'share the mic' like a viral TikTok collab.
Youth: The Future of Global Solutions
When asked about engaging younger generations, she emphasized: 'Young people aren’t just leaders of tomorrow—they’re problem-solvers today.' Her advice? 'Think like a startup: innovate fast, scale smarter.'
While acknowledging 'rocky roads ahead,' Georgieva ended on a hopeful note: 'When we sync up, we level up.'
