Israel-Hamas war already hitting regional economies: IMF chief
The ongoing war between Israel and Hamas is negatively impacting the economies of neighboring countries, particularly those dependent on tourism, according to the managing director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The effects of the conflict are already visible in countries like Egypt, Lebanon, and Jordan. The war could also have wider economic consequences, including a decrease in tourist inflows, increased insurance costs, and a potential rise in refugee numbers. Despite this, Saudi Arabia’s domestic economic reforms and investment opportunities are expected to continue.
