The International Monetary Fund has warned of the consequences of a war with Iran on the global economy. Fuel shortages, hunger, and inflation are expected to occur. The war would disrupt trade in the Middle East, leading to lower growth and higher inflation. Islands in the Pacific Ocean would be severely affected by fuel disruptions. The IMF predicts 45 million more people will suffer from food insecurity. Infrastructure damage, such as at Qatar's Ras Laffan gas complex, would lead to long-term effects. The IMF will update its economic forecasts next week, including changes to the UK economy outlook.
