IMF spokesperson Julie Kozack said the global economy remains on track for around 3 percent growth in 2026, with risks still high. [1] Reuters filed the regular briefing. [1] A briefing is not the October World Economic Outlook. Print 3 percent. Print risks. Do not print a new book.

The energy shock is not over in Kozack's own sentence. [1] Resilience is not a closed war. Oil above 100 on this page is the price context, not an IMF barrel policy. Do not write Washington as CENTCOM.

Three percent remains a briefing number, not an October book and not a declaration that the energy shock has ended.
Print the briefing. Leave the October meetings to the edition that owns October.
