Eurogroup President Paschal Donohoe will represent the Eurogroup at the Spring Meetings of the IMF and World Bank Group in Washington, DC

President of the Eurogroup, Paschal Donohoe, will be in Washington this week to attend the Spring Meetings of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank Group.

As President of the Eurogroup, Minister Donohoe will participate in the G7 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors’ meeting as well as in a range of IMF meetings. The main topics of discussion will include global economic and development challenges against an economic backdrop that has become increasingly uncertain.

 Speaking ahead of the Spring Meetings, Minister Donohoe commented:

The IMF and World Bank Group celebrated their 80-year anniversary last year, and now, maybe more than any time in recent memory, we need these institutions to help address the global challenges that we face. Multilateralism, particularly in the face of persistent and ongoing global conflicts and recent economic turbulence, is key for securing effective and resilient outcomes.

 

During my visit, I look forward to a series of constructive engagements with Ministerial colleagues and officials at the IMF and the World Bank on how best to address these economic challenges and further our shared goals.
