The growing geopolitical divide between China and the West threatens global trade and investment, warns IMF official Gita Gopinath. The world is divided into China-leaning, US-leaning, and nonaligned blocs, hindering trade cooperation and global growth. The cost of worsening divisions could range from 0.2% to 7% of world GDP, with low-income countries being hit hardest. To mitigate fragmentation, diversify commodity supply, invest in critical mineral recycling, and develop digital trade infrastructure. Preserving open trade and fostering partnerships is crucial for a stable and inclusive global economy. #Geopolitics #Trade #GlobalEconomy...
