- IMF urged support for poorer nations grappling with high inflation and war spillovers.
- IMF members called for additional support amid war shocks and flagged risks tied to "advanced intelligence."
- IMF chief warned that with U.S. national debt above $40 trillion, economic growth alone will not solve the problem.
Why it matters: The IMF is doubling down on two fronts: poorer countries need direct relief from inflation and war-driven shocks, while the U.S. — the IMF's largest shareholder — carries debt above $40 trillion that growth alone cannot service, raising the stakes for multilateral lending decisions made at this meeting.
