THE IMF AND COVID-19

We recently launched a hub for all of our COVID-19 content, including our latest analytical work on the economic impact of the pandemic, a global policy tracker that now covers 193 economies, a series of notes produced by IMF experts to help members address the economic effects of COVID-19, and recent news including press releases, speeches and more. If you are interested in the IMF's response to COVID-19, please read our latest Q&A.

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT

Late last week, Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva delivered her Curtain Raiser speech—Confronting the Crisis: Priorities for the Global Economy—ahead of the Spring Meetings. Listen to it here. Following the speech, she spoke with editor-in-chief of The Economist Zanny Minton Beddoes about whether the IMF can bail out the global economy. Listen to the 30-min discussion.
