Event Recap
The coronavirus pandemic triggered the worst global economic crisis since the Great Depression. The International Monetary Fund’s Managing Director, Kristalina Georgieva, led her institution’s work to help save the global economy. The IMF leveraged the full capacity of the institution’s $1 trillion in financial firepower, from emergency financing to debt relief. What’s next for the IMF as the economic impact of the crisis spreads across the world? Can the global economy recover soon? How might ‘the Great Lockdown’ reshape globalization, trade, and the future of work?
The Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund Kristalina Georgieva joined a live discussion on the IMF’s COVID-19 response and the way forward for the global economy.
This timely discussion is part of the new #ACFrontPage event series, a live ideas platform spotlighting global leaders who are championing constructive solutions to global challenges.
