Global economic growth projections from the International Monetary Fund will likely be downgraded due to the emergence of the Omicron variant of the coronavirus, IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva said on Friday.

"A new variant that may spread very rapidly can dent confidence, and in that sense, we are likely to see some downgrades of our October projections for global growth," Georgieva said during the Reuters Next conference.

"We do believe that the path to policy rate increases may be walked faster," she said, pointing to 2022 as a likely target. "It is not a silver bullet. There has to be action on all these fronts, so we can see the issue of inflation being contained."

Dr. Fauci responds to GOP Rep. Ronny Jackson calling Omicron the ‘Midterm Election Variant’'[There's] some suggestion that it might invade some of the protection from monoclonal antibodies or convalescent plasma or even for vaccine-induced antibodies,' Dr. Fauci says of new omicron variant of Covid-19. Omicron is the best news yet in this fight. It’s a highly infectious, but very weak variant. This is the viruses last gasp.
