◆ The inside track from the IMF/World Bank Annual Meetings ◆ AI's future economic impact and MDB capital debated ◆ Middle East capital markets
This week the IMF/World Bank Annual Meetings get underway, this year in Bangkok. Every three years this global finance and development jamboree meets away from Washington, DC with Thailand this year's destination.
GlobalCapital sent two of its best to the Thai capital to see what is being discussed inside and outside the conference as we published GlobalMarkets, our sister publication produced especially for the Meetings — and free to read for everybody.
On the podcast, we discuss the IMF's optimism about AI's future impact on productivity, the looming global jobs shortage, and a new tool for multilateral development banks designed to give them more financial firepower.
Meanwhile, we take a read of what bankers and issuers from the bond market are thinking about in their own discussions in Bangkok, including how they are conducting business in the Middle East in the midst of the Iran war and what they are making of NatWest's recent decision to pull out of most of its primary dealerships.
