On Wednesday, July 15, at 10:00 a.m. ET, the Atlantic Council’s GeoEconomics Center will host a conversation with Christian Mumssen, director of the Strategy, Policy, and Review Department at the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
The global economy faces slowing growth, depleted policy buffers, and deepening structural shifts from geoeconomic fragmentation, artificial intelligence, climate change, and demographic pressures. Against this uncertain backdrop, the world’s policymakers must make trade-offs.
The IMF is now in the midst of a review of its core frameworks, spanning economic surveillance, lending programs, assessment of debt sustainability for low-income countries, financial stability, and external balances. In this conversation, Mumssen will examine how the IMF is adapting its tools and thinking to support countries in an era of uncertainty, shocks, and major transformations.
