BANGKOK – Ms. Kristalina Georgieva, Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), delivered the closing remarks at the 2026 IMF-WBG Meetings held in Bangkok. The meetings are the IMF and World Bank Group (WBG) annual gathering, attended by delegations from many countries.
In her closing remarks, Ms. Georgieva praised Thailand and compared the country to deserving a "financial Olympic gold medal," a figurative expression indicating that the event was a success.
Ms. Georgieva also expressed her admiration for Thai culture and cuisine, particularly Thai silk and Thai food, which many meeting participants experienced during their travels to Thailand.
