The Annual Meetings of the World Bank Group and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) bring together central bankers, ministers of finance and development, private sector executives, civil society, media and academics to discuss issues around global economy, international development and the world's financial markets.
As a key player in international development, the European Investment Bank (EIB) was represented in the 2020 Annual Meetings through a delegation led by President Werner Hoyer and Vice-Presidents Ambroise Fayolle and Lilyana Pavlova.
EIB experts discussed how to best respond to the COVID-19 pandemic worldwide, while supporting a green recovery. They highlighted the importance of multilateralism as a response to global challenges, including gender equality and women’s economic empowerment.
