IMF chief says energy sector rebound will be slow after US‑Iran ceasefire

IMF Managing Director highlighted concerns about the global energy market. He noted that the recent US‑Iran ceasefire will not instantly restore energy flows. The ceasefire reduces immediate geopolitical tensions but does not resolve supply gaps. Recovery of oil and gas production is expected to be gradual over months. The IMF cautions that markets may remain volatile during the transition. Policymakers are urged to plan for a prolonged adjustment period. The warning underscores the interconnectedness of security and energy stability. Observers will monitor how the ceasefire influences future energy forecasts.
