Kristalina Georgieva, Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund, said that the UAE has always reminded us that if we want to progress, we have to come together.
And she added in a tweet following her participation in the World Government Summit: “Thank you, the UAE, for bringing us together every year at the World Government Summit. It is a great opportunity to discuss strengthening our cooperation and to remind us that together we can move forward.”
During the summit, Georgieva met with senior officials in the UAE, where it was an opportunity to discuss issues related to the global economic situation, relations between the UAE and the International Monetary Fund, and the role of the growing and diversified UAE economy as an effective model in supporting the business environment.
Georgieva expressed the bank’s aspiration to continue the distinguished cooperation relations with the UAE, which provides an inspiring economic model to follow. A fertile environment for constructive meaningful dialogue and exchange of visions, ideas, serious proposals and inspiring experiences, for cooperation whose results will benefit humanity.
Georgieva participated in two main sessions, “The World Economy… Between Radical Challenges and Specific Opportunities”, and “The End of Globalization or a New Beginning for It?”, among the main sessions of the summit held in Dubai, last week.
Georgieva also participated in the Public Finance Forum for Arab Countries, and attended a high-level closed session on climate finance to discuss the role of the public and private sectors, international and regional institutions and organizations in mitigating the challenges and obstacles facing the promotion of financing for climate action.
