WASHINGTON, March 30 – RIA Novosti. Kristalina Georgieva, Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), said that the problems of the banking sector in developed economies have become an inevitable consequence of the authorities’ actions to combat inflation.

“The rapid transition from prolonged low interest rates to much higher rates necessary to combat inflation has inevitably led to banking sector turbulence in some advanced economies,” IMF chief Boao said in Asian. China Forum.

Georgieva added that difficulties in the banking sector make it even more difficult for authorities to make choices about the tools they use.

At the same time, Jerome Powell, head of the Federal Reserve System (FRS) at a hearing in the US Congress in March, said that the collapse of the SVB was due to the company’s failure to manage the risks.
