The annual meetings of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund which were supposed to be held in Marrakesh in October 2021, were postponed to 2022, according to a statement released Thursday in Washington.
“The Kingdom of Morocco, the World Bank Group and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) announced today that the annual meetings of the World Bank Group and the IMF, scheduled in Marrakesh in October 2021 will be postponed 12 months until 2022, due to the COVID-19 pandemic,” said the press release issued by the IMF.
This event, which brings together thousands of delegates from all over the world, will be held in the American federal capital, where the two international financial institutions are headquartered.
The annual meetings are generally held for two consecutive years at the headquarters of the World Bank Group and the IMF in Washington D.C., and every three years in another member country.
The annual meetings bring together directors of central banks, finance and development ministers, executives from the private sector, civil society, the media and academics to discuss issues related mainly to global economic prospects, global finance stability, poverty eradication, inclusive economic growth, job creation, and climate change.
