World Bank President David Malpass said that a global recession appears all but inevitable as the war in Ukraine roils on, fueling higher food and energy prices that keep broader inflationary pressures high.

Malpass made the remarks in a May 25 virtual discussion hosted by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, which grappled with a number of overlapping global crises including ongoing supply chain disruptions and inflation.
