IMF and World Bank meetings

ALL · Twice a year: Spring Meetings (April) and Annual Meetings (October) · All day; sessions and press conferences through the week. PTM rates it medium impact.

What it is

The twice-yearly meetings of the IMF and World Bank: finance ministers and central bankers gather, and the IMF publishes its World Economic Outlook around them.

The IMF's World Economic Outlook, Global Financial Stability Report and Fiscal Monitor, the IMFC and Development Committee meetings, and press briefings by the IMF's Managing Director and department heads.

Why it matters

Officials' comments and the IMF's growth and inflation forecasts can shift how the global outlook is read during the week.

Who publishes it

International Monetary Fund and World Bank Group

Markets on the board

None: a global event with no single market or release minute, so it is not tied to a board market.
