Finance Ministers at the Forefront:  Driving Economic Prosperity, Sustainable Development, and Climate Action Amid Constrained Fiscal Environments 

23 April 2025, 8:00-9:00 AM, Shihata Conference Room, World Bank (MC13-121) 

This year’s Spring Ministerial Meeting will feature a ministerial roundtable, opening with scene-setting remarks from the Co-Chair Ministers (Finance Ministers of Indonesia, The Netherlands and Uganda as incoming Co-Chair), and followed by formal handover of the Co-Chairmanship from Indonesia to Uganda. The main plenary session will feature interventions from Ministers of Finance (only) from member countries, with the World Bank and the IMF senior leadership to conclude the plenary discussion with their reflections on the ministerial discussion.   

 

Discussion Question: What can be learned from the concrete experiences, solutions and actions your Finance Ministry is undertaking to drive climate action, economic prosperity, and sustainable development goals within limited fiscal space and in a complex and shifting geopolitical landscape?
