The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has warned that the euro zone economy faces a significant slowdown and rising inflation this year, even if the geopolitical disruptions stemming from the conflict in Iran are resolved by mid-year. In its latest World Economic Outlook, the IMF noted that the region's heavy reliance on energy imports makes it particularly susceptible to price spikes, especially as the legacy of the war in Russia continues to strain access to essential resources.
