IMF Video: Paraguay: From Macroeconomic Stability to Green Investment Destination

Play Video: Paraguay: From Macroeconomic Stability to Green Investment Destination

Paraguay is a landlocked, middle-income country close to reaching investment grade after two decades of robust economic policies that have enabled it to withstand increasingly frequent and intense climate shocks. This transformation began under Fund-supported programs following the country's last economic crisis in 2002-03. The issuance of local currency bonds in international markets for the first time in 2024 marks a milestone that recognizes Paraguay’s solid macroeconomic record. In addition to showcasing the country’s macroeconomic achievements, this event will discuss Paraguay’s future agenda, which aims to become a predictable, profitable, and green investment destination. This will be achieved by leveraging its natural resources, a fully renewable electricity matrix, and the support of a recently approved RSF. https://www.imfconnect.org/content/imf/en/annual-meetings/calendar/open/2024/04/18/183252.html

Turkish Minister of Treasury and Finance Mehmet Şimşek and IMF European Department Director Alfred Kammer discuss Türkiye's economic stabilization efforts since mid-2023. The significant tightening of the policy mix has substantially reduced Türkiye's vulnerabilities. However, inflation inertia continues to be difficult to break, and vital spending for earthquake recovery has pushed fiscal deficits up. This session will delve into how these policy changes are reshaping Türkiye's economic landscape, and how the Turkish authorities are planning to address remaining challenges in their quest to ensure high growth with low and stable inflation. https://www.imfconnect.org/content/imf/en/annual-meetings/calendar/open/2024/04/18/182892.html

A Houston-bound Boeing 737-800 plane operated by Southwest Airlines returned safely to Denver International Airport on Sunday after an engine cover fell off and struck the wing flap, according to the Federal Aviation Administration. The agency said it will investigate. In recorded air traffic control audio, one of the pilots said that “several passengers and flight attendants heard something loud hit the wing.” In a statement to CNN, Southwest said passengers would take another plane to Houston and would be approximately three hours behind schedule. “We apologize for the inconvenience of their delay but place our highest priority on ultimate Safety for our Customers and Employees,” the statement said. Southwest said no injuries were reported. Boeing declined to comment and referred CNN to Southwest for information about plane and fleet operations. #boeing #CNN #News
