U.S. to hit Iran with fresh sanctions after Israel attack
Quick Glance: Yellen warns of further sanctions in response to Iran's increasing activities
  • Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen warned of potential global economic damage from rising tensions in the Middle East and pledged that the U.S. and its allies won't hesitate to use their sanctions powers to address Iran's 'malign and destabilizing activity' in the region.

  • The fast-rising tensions between Iran and Israel and the potential implications of escalation on the global economy are at the forefront of the spring meetings of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank.

  • Yellen announced additional sanctions actions against Iran in the coming days and expressed support for liquidating roughly $300 billion in frozen Russian Central Bank assets for Ukraine's reconstruction.

  • Another major focus of this year's meetings will be Chinese industrial policy, which Yellen believes poses a threat to U.S. jobs and the global economy. She plans to meet with Chinese counterparts to identify potential areas of cooperation and address concerns.

  • Despite the chaotic impact of adverse El Nino weather in Africa, the latest data does not show indications of price hikes in food.

  • The South African Reserve Bank noted that the inflation rate is expected to reach the target range of 4.5% only by the end of 2025.

  • Kganyago highlighted potential risks from higher oil prices due to tensions in the Middle East and tight global financial conditions resulting from prolonged high interest rates at the U.S. Federal Reserve.
