Inflation, geopolitics key global economic hurdles

"Inflation globally is a big challenge. It doesn't respect borders and is so contagious that no country's efforts today are entirely successful," Sitharaman said at the CII Global Economic Policy Forum. "The world is facing a challenge reflected in various ways in our economies," she added, emphasizing that combating inflation requires a unified approach. "It is incumbent upon all of us—industry, government, policymakers, citizens, and citizen forums—to work tirelessly to restore some normalcy," she noted.

Sitharaman's remarks come against a backdrop of mounting inflationary pressures affecting both advanced and emerging economies, driven by geopolitical tensions and supply chain disruptions.
