Thoroughly enjoyed my discussion last week with Emmanuel Moulin of @banquedefrance, Martin Schlegel of @SNB_BNS, and @olayemicardoso1 on central bank decision-making. From committee design to transparency and communication, different approaches offer valuable lessons.

AI has the potential to be as transformative and accessible as the mobile phone. To make that possible, we need digital infrastructure, skills, broad adoption, and the right safeguards so everyone can benefit. Watch the discussion here: imf.org/en/meetings/2026/ann…

Sub-Saharan Africa’s growth remains resilient but uneven. The IMF projects growth of 4.5% in 2026 and 2027, while median inflation rises to 4.3% this year. Policies should ensure price stability and rebuild buffers, while supporting vulnerable households. imf.org/en/publications/reo/…

Global financial markets face growing risks from AI, bond yields, and cyberattacks. As vulnerabilities increase, policymakers should contain leverage, strengthen debt sustainability, and harden cyber defenses.

1/3 Growth in Latin America and the Caribbean remains resilient, projected at 2.3% in 2026, 2.5% in 2027, and 2.9% in 2028. Strong U.S. demand, high commodity prices, favorable financial conditions, tourism, and remittances are offsetting trade and geopolitical pressures.

2/3 But challenges remain:
➡️Higher energy and food prices have interrupted disinflation
➡️High and rising public debt limits policy space
➡️Trade shifts bring opportunities, but rising Asian imports are intensifying competition
➡️Productivity growth remains persistently weak

3/3 To turn these tailwinds into lasting gains, the region needs cautious monetary easing, renewed efforts to reduce deficits and debt, and a stronger reform push to raise investment and productivity.

A milestone as we welcome the UAE as host of the 2029 IMF-World Bank Annual Meetings. The baton now passes from Bangkok to Abu Dhabi. I look forward to working closely with our Emirati partners to bring the world together, prepare for change, and shape a better future.
