  • Remarks By US Deputy Secretary Of The Treasury Wally Adeyemo At The Peterson Institute For International Economics

    Date 18/04/2022

    Thank you so much to Adam and the Peterson Institute for International Economics for hosting me today. This week’s Spring Meetings of the IMF and World Bank come at a pivotal moment for the international financial system and the global economy. Russia’s brutal and unprovoked war in Ukraine has catalyzed the kind of coordinated and multilateral response not seen since the terrorist attacks of September 11. The multilateral coalition President Biden has helped assemble is animated by the idea that you cannot violate the sovereignty of another country and continue to enjoy the privileges of integration into the global economy—a position reflected in our swift and decisive actions to counter Russia’s aggression.

    Date 18/04/2022

    Thank you, Michael [Minnis]. I am humbled to be here today with such an impressive group of participants. The private markets and their role in the economy is an important topic and I’m glad to have this gathering of highly respected academics and industry participants thinking about the subject matter. I would also like to thank tonight’s host, the University of Chicago, whose faculty profoundly impact policy-making through their research and discussion. Before I get too far, let me make the standard disclosure that the views I express today are my own and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Commission or its staff.

  • IMF Executive Board Approves Establishment Of The Resilience And Sustainability Trust

    Date 18/04/2022

    • The Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) approved the establishment of the Resilience and Sustainability Trust (RST) to help countries build resilience to external shocks and ensure sustainable growth, contributing to their long-term balance of payments stability.
    • The RST will complement the IMF’s existing lending toolkit by focusing on longer-term structural challenges – including climate change and pandemic preparedness – that entail significant macroeconomic risks and where policy solutions have a strong global public good nature.
    • About three quarters of the IMF’s membership will be eligible for longer-term affordable financing from the RST, including all low-income countries, all developing and vulnerable small states, and lower middle-income countries.
