The Spring Meetings of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank will take place in Washington D.C. on 15-17 April. The Swedish delegation will include Governor Stefan Ingves, Deputy Governor Per Jansson, Finance Minister Magdalena Andersson and Minister for International Development Cooperation Isabella Lövin.
The International Monetary and Financial Committee (IMFC) will meet on 16 April in connection with the Spring Meetings. As usual, the discussions at the IMFC meeting will cover the global economy and how the countries are jointly addressing the current global financial situation.
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 in the IMFC is represented by Norway's Finance Minister Siv Jensen.
