Remarks By US Secretary Of The Treasury Janet Yellen, World Bank Group President David Malpass, And International Monetary Fund Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva, In Conversation At The 2021 Spring Meetings - “Economic Recovery: Toward A Green, Resilient, And Inclusive Future”

Date 06/04/2021

MALPASS

Thank you very much, Larry. It's a pleasure to be here with IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva and with U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen to discuss the economic recovery in the kickoff of our Spring Meetings. The world faces major challenges, including COVID, climate change, rising poverty and inequality and growing fragility and violence in many countries. The inequality is most apparent in the direct effects of COVID that hits informal workers and the vulnerable the most. The inequality extends well beyond that to vaccinations, the concentration in wealth, the unequal impact of the fiscal stimulus and asset purchases, and the imbalance in debtor-creditor relationships, particularly for people in the poorest countries. The World Bank Group is leaning forward as much as possible to face these challenges. In response to COVID-19, we took broad, fast action and quickly achieved over 100 active operations of support for developing countries.

Remarks By US Secretary Of The Treasury Janet L. Yellen Addressing The Threat Of Climate Change To The Coalition Of Finance Ministers For Climate Action

Date 06/04/2021

Thank you to Minister Vanhanen and Minister Cerda for inviting me to speak to you today. 

Let me begin by saying how excited the Biden-Harris Administration is to bring the United States back into the fold to tackle the generational issue of climate change.  Climate, by its very nature, requires strong global cooperation.  We lost four important years, and we recognize that many of you around the room have been leading change in your own countries.  The United States was pleased to join the Coalition last week, and my team and I look forward to engaging with you on this important agenda:  Finance ministries have a vital role to play, and there is much that we can learn from each other about how to integrate climate into our financial planning and decision-making.
