IMF and World Bank spring meeting in Washington D.C., 20-21 April 2012

Date

The International Monetary and Financial Committee (IMFC) will meet on 21 April in connection with the spring meeting of the IMF and the World Bank. The Swedish delegation includes Governor Stefan Ingves, Deputy Governor Barbro Wickman-Parak, Finance Minister Anders Borg and Minister for International Development Cooperation Gunilla Carlsson.

 

The discussions at the IMFC meeting will, among other things, cover the global economy and how the countries are jointly addressing the current global financial situation. There will also be a focus on the supervisory role of the IMF and the member states' commitments to the IMF, and on how the emerging economies can develop financial resilience in a period of financial and political unease.

 

What is the IMFC?

The International Monetary and Financial Committee (IMFC) is the IMF's policymaking forum. The Committee meets twice a year, once in the spring and once in the autumn in connection with the IMF's annual meeting, to discuss the global economy and other issues relating to the IMF's activities. The IMFC consists of 24 members that are represented by a central bank governor or a finance minister from each country or constituency in the IMF. Sweden is part of a constituency together with Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania and Norway. This year, our constituency is represented by the Danish Minister for Economic Affairs and the Interior Margrethe Vestager.
