At #NoMoneyForTerror to share IMF’s contribution to fighting financing of terrorism - it is integral to our work on macroeconomic and financial stability, particularly in fragile and conflict-affected countries.

Great exchange with South Africa's Finance Minister Godongwana & Governor @KganyagoLesetja on the economic outlook & risks for the country & region. Prudent macroeconomic policies & structural reforms have strengthened South Africa's resilience to current & future shocks.

I'm often asked how the IMF finances itself. We are like a credit union for countries. Our 191 members pool resources via quotas, creating nearly $1T in lending capacity, under a unique funding model that does not require budget appropriations.

I met with the President of the Republic of South Africa, @CyrilRamaphosa. I spoke about the implementation of the decisions made during the first Peace Summit and the preparations for the second Summit. We also discussed ways to expand the representation of the Global South.
Only the unity of world leaders can force Putin to stop the war, while all peace proposals based on freezing the war have no prospects.
