Swiss Federal Councillors Ueli Maurer and Guy Parmelin, along with Thomas Jordan of the Swiss National Bank, will be attending the Annual Meetings of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank Group in Washington from October 12-14, 2022. The G20 finance ministers and central bank governors will hold a meeting prior to this.
The main topics of discussion will be the global economic challenges due to factors like the war in Ukraine, ongoing inflation trends, and food and energy shortages, which have led to setbacks in poverty reduction and worsening debt situations in many countries. There will be a focus on finding solutions to combat climate change and investing in sustainable food and energy systems.
Switzerland is supporting a food shock financing window and the Resilience and Sustainability Trust, aimed at promoting economic policy measures to address climate change.
