At the International Monetary and Finance Committee Meeting (IMFC) of Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors in Bangkok discussing the state of the global economy, its resilience and the key risks. I shared on the centrality of trade to global growth; the latest data on the resilience of trade which mirrors that of the global economy, and is driven largely by growth in AI trade. All agreed that resilience should not breed complacency. We must deal with key risks, including macroeconomic imbalances, and in the case of @wto, implement key reforms. With my sisters, Kristalina Georgieva @KGeorgieva MD of @IMF_news and Christine @Lagarde President of @ecb. Also with Pablo Hernandez de Cos, GM of @BIS_org.
