Overview
The 2024 Annual Meetings of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank Group (WBG) will take place from Monday, October 21 to Saturday, October 26 in Washington D.C. Keystones of the Annual Meetings include the Plenary session, the Development Committee and the International Monetary and Financial Committee meetings. Other featured events include regional briefings, press conferences, and fora focused on international development, the global economy, and financial markets.
The World Bank Group, including IFC, is undergoing significant transformation to better address global challenges. The scale of these challenges is unprecedented, with nearly 700 million people still trapped in extreme poverty and an additional 1.2 billion youth in the Global South expected to enter the job market over the next decade.
During these annual meetings and in the months ahead our priorities are to evolve the institution to deliver more impact, to use the private sector as a catalyst, to commit to climate action and sustainable development, to focus on fragile and low-income countries, and to develop meaningful employment opportunities and transform economies.

However, to unlock this potential for the long term, the agrifood system needs to prioritize nutrition, climate resilience, and halting environmental degradation.
This flagship event at the World Bank Annual Meetings 2024 will explore how governments and businesses can lead this transformation.
