It was a privilege to welcome President Ahmad al-Sharaa to the IMF. We discussed the economic transformation Syrians need & deserve—which his government is making possible. I reiterated IMF's readiness to help including through our existing technical support for key institutions.

There are forces we cannot control. But we can control our policies. Strong fundamentals, resilient institutions, and sound policy choices are the best defense against shocks and the key to sustainable growth. From my Spring Meetings speech in April:

Thailand's greatest strength is its people—their creativity, ingenuity, and entrepreneurial spirit. As we look ahead to the Annual Meetings, I'm inspired by how investing in people, innovation, and opportunity can help build a more resilient and prosperous future.

As I shared with students in Argentina, AI can boost growth & productivity, but it will also transform jobs. With about 40% of jobs worldwide affected, the challenge is helping young people gain the skills & adaptability needed to thrive. Thank you Lara López Calvo for moderating.

Congratulations to India on a successful #G20 presidency. Its theme of "one earth, one family, one future" resonated with global leaders, who reached an important consensus on ways to address the global challenges confronting us. My takeaways from 🇮🇳's successful G20 United States summit.

One of my favorite summer traditions is meeting participants of the IMF Teen Summer Program. Their questions are thoughtful, their perspectives fresh, and their optimism contagious.

My experience with Muay Thai, Thailand's iconic sport, earlier this year offered a fitting preview of the 2026 Annual Meetings. With its vibrant energy, technological advancements, and rich cultural heritage, Thailand is well positioned to seize new opportunities.

Thank you, Greece, for becoming the newest partner of our capacity development work. As I told FM Kyriakos Pierrakakis, Greece has come a long way: from a country needing support to now able to help others. It will contribute to SEETAC, strengthening economic institutions in SE Europe.

Always a pleasure meeting 🇷🇼 President Paul Kagame. Congratulated him on Rwanda's strong economic performance, his unwavering commitment to prudent policymaking, and successful completion of their program yesterday. The IMF values its strong partnership with Rwanda.

The war in the Middle East has disrupted oil and gas flows. But the impact is far from even. Energy exporters face smaller headwinds, while countries hit by conflict or reliant on imports bear the greatest costs. The chart shows why policy space matters.

Over 80% of countries in the world are net oil importers. Vulnerable economies—especially in Sub Saharan Africa and small island states—are bearing the brunt of this shock. Our members will come together next week to find a path forward. Full speech:

Not all imbalances are the same. Some reflect a country’s stage of development—but it is excessive imbalances that should concern us. This distinction shaped my discussion with Bank of England Governor, Andrew Bailey, Kristin J Forbes, Adam Posen, and Hélène Rey.
