　　pGeorgieva told Reuters on the sidelines of a G7 finance ministers and central bank governors meeting in Germany that it is getting harder for central banks to bring down inflation without causing recessions, due to mounting pressures on energy and food prices from Russia‘s war in Ukraine, China’s zeroCOVID policies that have slashed manufacturing with lockdowns, and the need to reorder supply chains to make them more resilient.pdivdivdiv classBodysc17zpet90 cdBBJodiv

　　p“I think what we need to start getting more comfortable with is, that may not be the last shock,” she said, noting that she stopped viewing inflation as a “transitory” one time shock when the Omicron COVID19 outbreak took hold late last year.p
