International Monetary Fund (IMF) Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva is on Wednesday October 14, 2026 holding a press briefing on the Fund’s Global Policy Agenda as part of the 2026 IMF/World Bank Annual Meetings in Bangkok, Thailand.

The briefing provides an opportunity for Georgieva to outline the IMF’s policy priorities and address questions from journalists on key issues affecting the global economy.

The session is moderated by Julie Kozack, Director of the IMF’s Communications Department.

The Global Policy Agenda sets out the Fund’s priorities for supporting economic stability, promoting sustainable growth and helping member countries navigate emerging global economic challenges.

The briefing takes place amid ongoing discussions among policymakers, finance ministers and central bank governors on the global economic outlook, debt sustainability, geopolitical tensions and risks to economic growth.

The IMF/World Bank Annual Meetings bring together government officials, development partners, private-sector representatives and civil society organisations to discuss major economic and financial issues facing countries around the world.
