As the global economy continues its post-Covid recovery, the International Financial Institutions have a critical role to play in helping countries adapt to scarring realities. The Ukraine crisis, supply chain bottlenecks, rising inflation, and heightened debt distress all pose risks to economic growth and will require coordinated policy response. At the same time, the pandemic accelerated the transition to digitization – crypto assets and digital payments have become more ubiquitous and present a new set of opportunities and challenges. And climate change has come to the forefront as an existential threat. This year’s Annual Meeting will explore how the international community must adapt to these unprecedented economic, geopolitical, technological, and environmental challenges to create a post-pandemic economy built on shared prosperity. REGISTER TODAY If you are interested in attending, kindly contact Chuyun Hu, Program Associate, at [emailprotected] for assistance. All sessions are on Zoom, except on April 22 when we offer both in-person registration and online registration options. Additional sessions and speakers will be announced soon!

Following the global community's dispersed reactions to a series of disruptive global crises, it's time for international architecture to move from an era of induced response to an era of inspired reform. These rises have left in their wake a stagnated global economy, a tumultuous geopolitical landscape, and a massive need for investment in emerging and developing economies. While an increasing number of issues reach across borders, so must the solutions. International Financial institutions (IFIs) are best equipped to meet these challenges, although their original frameworks have been outpaced by the global challenges testing the limits of their mandates. This year's Annual Meeting will explore the need for global governance reform and the ways in which the International Financial Institutions can evolve to meet the economic, geopolitical, and cross-border challenges of the new era. All sessions are held in-person, on-site at the IMF Headquarters in Washington, D.C. Remote viewers will be able to watch the in-person sessions through the IMF Connect Live Stream. If you plan to attend pre-registration is required before March 28, 2023. For any questions, kindly contact Stephanie Wasserman, Program Associate, at [emailprotected], with the subject line “AM23 Registration”. We will follow up shortly after, with specific instructions on how you can obtain accreditation with the IMF. CONFERENCE AGENDA Additional sessions and speakers will be announced soon!

​( m.1918) ​ Children 2 Harry Dexter White (October 29, 1892 – August 16, 1948) was a senior He was a senior American official at the 1944 White was accused in 1948 of spying for the Soviet Union, which he adamantly denied. He was never a Communist party member, but he had frequent contacts with Soviet officials as part of his duties at the Treasury. Revelations about those contacts and about dubious activities of a few of his friends and colleagues, including through decoded and now declassified Soviet cables intercepted in the Background [ ] Harry Dexter White was born on October 29, 1892, in Boston, Massachusetts, the seventh and youngest child of The French International Accounts, 1880–1913. Treasury Department [ ] In 1934, Japan policy [ ] In November 1941, White sent a memorandum to Morgenthau that was widely circulated and influenced State Department planning. White called for a comprehensive peaceful solution of rapidly escalating tensions between the United States and Japan, calling for major concessions on both sides. Langer and Gleason report that White's proposals were totally rewritten by the State Department and that the American key demand had been formulated long before White. It was an insistence on Japanese withdrawal from China, which Japan totally refused to consider. After the U.S. entered the war in December 1941, Secretary Morgenthau appointed White to act as liaison between the Treasury and the White was a dedicated internationalist, and his energie...

In his magisterial history of world power since 1500, The Rise and Fall of the Great Powers, which incidentally was the senior year graduation gift in 1988 that inspired me to become a professional historian—the Yale historian Paul Kennedy wrote that his work was not exclusively a military or economic history, but he wanted to “concentrate on the interaction between economics and strategy, as each of the leading states in the international system strove to enhance its wealth and power, to become (or to remain) both rich and strong.” Later in his book, reflecting on World War II, Kennedy wrote that “Clearly, economic power was never the only influence upon military effectiveness, even in the mechanized, total war of 1939-1945.” Kennedy put forward the following analysis: “Economics, to paraphrase Clausewitz, stood in about the same relationship to combat as the craft of the swordsmith to the art of fencing.” In other words, superior economic and technological strength forged the means to fight and superior numbers could provide an advantage for victory, but war material could not substitute for actual performance in the hands of warriors on the battlefield. The battle that I would like to discuss focused on the interaction between economics and empires. It began on the last day of June 1944, when conference guests began arriving to a quiet and recently refurbished 234 room resort hotel named the Mount Washington, deep in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. The United Nati...

Through a series of three articles, the 1944 Bretton Woods ambitions and edifices (US dollar as the global reserve currency, the IMF and the Worldbank) are assessed through the lensof six distinctive global trends: the free market doctrine, the dollarization of the international market, globalization, the health and quality of life paradox, polarization, and the absence of a nature-centric paradigm. The observations will serve as a base for a Rethinking of Bretton Woods conference, post COP26, in 2022. The 1944 Bretton Woods conference will be remembered as enacting the global and financial power shift from a waning British empire towards an emerging American empire. Battles were still raging on several continents when 730 delegates from 44 nations, including Russia and China, gathered in a White Mountains hotel in New Hampshire. They aimed to map the contours of the new financial world order. Against a background of a colossal loss of life, human misery, and bombed-out industrial regions, the conference delivered three principal edifices. Backed by the United States’ leading creditor status, the US Dollar was accepted as the global reserve currency. The reserve currency status came with permanent gold convertibility at a fixed exchange rate. John Maynard Keynes had offered an alternative supranational currency, the Bancor. However, the US delegation swiftly swiped the multilateral construct off the negotiating table. Secondly, the World Bank was established to address the...

United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres, World Bank President David Malpass, International Monetary Fund (IMF) Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva, and Cook Islands’ Prime Minister Mark Brown, along with other leaders attending the G7 Summit walk out from the Peace Memorial Museum to a wreath-laying ceremony in the Peace Memorial Park on May 21, 2023, in Hiroshima, Japan. (Reuters) UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said on Sunday that it was time to reform both the Security Council and Bretton Woods to align with the “realities of today’s world.” Speaking at a press conference in Hiroshima, Japan, where the Group of Seven summit meeting had been held, Guterres said both institutions reflected the power relations of 1945 and needed to be updated. For the latest headlines, follow our Google News channel online or via the app. “The global financial architecture became outdated, dysfunctional, and unfair,” he said. “In the face of the economic shocks from the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russian invasion of Ukraine, it has failed to fulfil its core function as a global safety net.” Guterres also spoke of how he felt that at the G7 summit there was a growing consciousness among developing countries that not enough was being done to reform outdated institutions or “re-move the frustrations” of the Global South. India’s economy will grow over 6 percent this year and next, the International Monetary Fund said in its World Economic Outlook this January. China and Indi...
