April 17 end of week update: Remarks from Development Committee

Under normal circumstances, this week would have been the week when more than 10,000 people – government officials, private sector, and civil society – would gather in DC for the World Bank Group - International Monetary Fund Spring Meetings.

Due to COVID-19, we instead met virtually: I am glad that it was a productive week, and that we were able to convene our stakeholders in a cost-efficient and low-carbon format.

I invite you to read more about our Meetings and our ongoing efforts in my Development Committee Remarks.
