At World Bank/IMF meetings, Hanan Morsy calls for bold, coordinated actions among stakeholders

The 2025 Spring Meetings of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank Group have been an opportunity for Africa to come face to face with the realities of a turbulent shift in the global context, with heightened policy uncertainties and macroeconomic vulnerabilities, according to Hanan Morsy, Economic Commission for Africa’s Deputy Executive Secretary and Chief Economist.

Speaking at a high-level roundtable co-hosted by OMFIF and Crown Agents, bringing together central banks, international organizations, and private sector leaders, focused on how emerging and frontier economies can address these challenges, Morsy said, “Strengthening financial resilience in today’s volatile environment demands bold, coordinated solutions across central banks, multilaterals, and the private sector.” (Press release)
