Description

The 2026 Annual Meetings of the World Bank Group and the IMF represent the most significant gathering of the global financial community. Returning to Bangkok for the first time since 1991, the October session serves as a platform for the Boards of Governors to discuss the "World Economic Outlook" and "Global Financial Stability Report." Key sessions include the Development Committee and the International Monetary and Financial Committee (IMFC) meetings, which provide strategic advice to the institutions. Beyond formal governance, the week features the Civil Society Policy Forum and various seminars that engage academics and private sector leaders on pressing challenges like climate-resilient development and debt restructuring. The summit aims to catalyze international cooperation to boost shared prosperity and stabilize the global economy.
