Mr. Ekniti Nitithanprapas presided over the ASEAN group meeting with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank Group to prepare for the annual meetings to be held in Bangkok in 2026.
This meeting served as a vital platform for financial leaders from ASEAN countries to exchange perspectives on global and regional economic trends, with a focus on analyzing various risks that could impact the financial stability of member nations.
