IMF Video: The Resilience and Sustainability Trust - A Dialogue with Countries
The IMF’s Resilience and Sustainability Trust is open for business and provides funding for countries to invest in the seismic changes taking place in the world, like climate change and pandemics. It also can help countries raise more private financing to help them adapt to a changing world.
Join Kristalina Georgieva, IMF Managing Director, Paul Kagame, President of Rwanda, Mia Mottley, Prime Minister of Barbados, and Makhtar Diop, Managing Director of the International Finance Corporation for a conversation about countries’ early experiences and their plans for their funding from the Trust, moderated by Rajiv Shah, President of the Rockefeller Foundation.
With too many women facing barriers to economic opportunities, the world is missing out on higher economic growth and resilience for all. The pandemic has worsened gender inequality, keeping girls and women out of school and work. Yet economic and financial policies can help empower women and girls, improving economies today and building resilience against future shocks.
IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva joins Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation’s Melinda French Gates, Nigeria's Minister of Finance the Hon. Zainab Ahmed, and UN-Women's Sima Sami Bahous for a discussion on how the IMF, International Financial Institutions, governments, academia, and others can work together to help reduce gender gaps. Lord Mark Malloch-Brown will moderate the discussion.
Send your questions for our panelists ahead of the event to IMFLive@imf.org for our Q&A session.
