2012 Spring Meetings of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank Group - International Monetary Fund

Each Spring, thousands of government officials, the private sector, journalists, civil society representatives, and other interested observers gather in Washington DC for the Spring Meetings of the IMF and the World Bank. At the heart of the gathering are meetings of the IMF's International Monetary and Financial Committee and the joint World Bank-IMF Development Committee, which discuss progress on the work of the IMF and the World Bank. Also featured are seminars, regional briefings, press conferences, and many other events focused on the global economy, international development, and the world’s financial markets. The plenary session of the IMF and the World Bank's Boards of Governors is scheduled only during the Annual Meetings in the autumn.
