Ms. Gopinath expects that global inflation would slow this year and the following.

She added that a lot of unexpected events had recently happened, "so things can go horribly wrong." According to her, the fact that inflation is reverting to a manageable level should be celebrated.

"As for the fragmentation in the economy, we truly want countries to be able to work together to find answers, and maybe I would say that at least when it comes to things like food exports, fertilizer exports, basic necessities," she noted.
