We spoke to dozens of central bankers, policymakers and politicians about the Iran war — These are their biggest fears for the global economy

Policymakers around the world are closely watching developments in the Middle East as they gauge the most prudent response to the economic fallout of the war.

CNBC spoke to more than 30 central bankers, politicians and policymakers at the IMF World Bank meetings in Washington, DC, this week, who weighed in on the U.S.-Iran war and their biggest economic concerns.

The interviews came before Iran’s Friday declaration that the Strait of Hormuz is completely open to commercial traffic during the ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon.

U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday thanked Iran for opening the strait in a social media post. But Trump said the U.S. naval blockade of Iran’s ports will remain in effect until an agreement is reached with Tehran.

The war in Iran dominated conversation at the event, amid lingering uncertainty around its trajectory.
