The IMF warns that tariffs are ineffective at fixing global trade imbalances, potentially driving investors toward alternative assets like Bitcoin.Summary
The IMF reports that tariffs are largely ineffective at correcting global trade imbalances and often lead to reduced economic output. Researchers Pierre-Olivier Gourinchas and Christian Mumssen argue that sound macroeconomic policies are the only reliable way to address these gaps.
