MD Remarks to EU Pavilion Discussion on Carbon Pricing and Carbon Markets

December 1 , 2023
Thank you for bringing us together. I cannot think of a more important topic than accelerating decarbonization by pricing carbon. IMF research shows that the path of borrowing to fund decarbonization is not one that countries can afford to follow. Whereas the path of pricing carbon is pragmatic, leads to more revenues, creates incentives for changing behavior, and is equitable.  

Managing Director’s Remarks at the World Bank/IMF/Financial Times Pavilion: A Fireside Chat with President Banga, Moderated by Pilita Clark.

December 1 , 2023
This is the first COP when the IMF and the World Bank have shared a pavilion. This sends a signal that we all need to work together in a way that makes sure what we achieve is bigger than we would have achieved on our own.

Europe in a Fragmented World

November 30, 2023
In her acceptance speech for the 2023 Bernhard Harms Prize, Gita Gopinath discusses the rising phenomenon of geoeconomic fragmentation and its implications for Europe. She highlights three key points: Firstly, she emphasizes that geoeconomic fragmentation is a reality, with trade patterns shifting and supply chains lengthening. Secondly, Gopinath notes that while Europe is highly exposed to this fragmentation, its diverse membership and innovative capabilities position it to weather the effects. Finally, she advocates for EU policymakers to prioritize deepening the single market and calls for a rules-based global trading system to leverage Europe's unique strengths and foster resilience in the face of a divided world.
