中国石化新闻网讯 据道琼斯6月16日消息，国际货币基金组织(IMF)负责人周一表示，伊拉克冲突升级可能给原油供应带来冲击，从而可能对美国经济产生不利影响，但发生这种情况的前提是冲突深化且长期持续。

IMF总裁克里斯蒂娜·拉加德在接受福克斯商业电视网采访时承认，逊尼派穆斯林极端分子不断升级的暴力活动可能会影响美国经济。

但拉加德称上述情况如要发生，则原油供应所受冲击必须相当深刻且相当持久，这当然不是该机构所希望看到的情况。

IMF周一早些时候发布了对美国经济的年度评论，并将今年美国经济增速下调0.8个百分点降至2%，但是明年美国经济增速将回升至3%。

IMF's Largard Says Iraq Oil Shock Could Hurt U.S. Economy -Fox Business

An escalation of the conflict in Iraq has the potential to negatively impact the U.S. economy from a possible oil shock, but only if the fighting deepens and is protracted, the head of the International Monetary Fund said Monday.

IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde, in an interview with the Fox Business Network, acknowledged that escalating increased violence from Sunni extremists might affect the U.S. economy.

But for that to happen, Ms. Lagarde said, the potential oil stock "would have to be rather deep and rather long lasting, which is certainly not what we hope."

The IMF earlier Monday released its annual review of the U.S. economy, cutting its forecast for economic growth this year by 0.8 percentage points to 2% but calling for improved growth in 2015 of 3%.
