The President of Peru, the Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund, and the President of the World Bank Group will speak at the 2015 Annual Meetings of the Boards of Governors of the World Bank Group and the International Monetary Fund Plenary Session.
As the Annual Meetings closed, the focus was on obstacles to ending poverty: climate change, weak growth, and the ongoing crises in fragile states. In its communiqué, the Development Committee said economic risks have risen.
The world's finance ministers and central bank governors —serving as the IMF's policy-guiding International Monetary and Financial Committee— explore how to make the current global recovery significantly more robust and less uneven.
World Bank Group President Jim Yong Kim will address the press and answer questions during the 2015 Annual Meetings.
IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde will address the press during the 2015 Annual Meetings of the WBG and the IMF.
Global growth remains moderate, with uneven prospects across the main countries/regions, and risks tilted to the downside. In the absence of a robust pickup in global growth, raising output through a combination of demand support and structural reforms continues to be the economic policy priority.
