The Federal Reserve should be able to start cutting interest rates by the end of 2024, according to Kristalina Georgieva, managing director of the International Monetary Fund.
"We remain on our projection that we would see, by the end of the year, the Fed being in a position to take some action in a direction of bringing interest rates down," Georgieva said on CNBC's "Squawk on the Street."
Fed funds futures pricing data suggests that the first rate cut could come in September, according to the CME FedWatch Tool.
Georgieva said the Fed should continue following economic data, which will signal when it's appropriate to begin reducing the cost of borrowing money.
Still, Georgieva warned that keeping interest rates elevated for longer than expected can create risks to financial stability for the rest of the world.
