Impressed by @DSengeh and his team’s work at Directorate of Science Technology and Innovation. Tackling #SierraLeone’s old problems with new technologies. #FreeQualityEducation #AntiCorruption #FinancialInclusion #SmartFiscalSystems

Met some remarkable women during my visit to #SierraLeone. Leaders and policymakers. They are the key to unlocking the country’s future! Educating girls today creates opportunities and the leaders of tomorrow.

Honored to meet Barram today and discuss his priorities for #SierraLeone. Thanked him for the warm hospitality. We support his vision for economic development & the goals of the National Development Plan in delivering the promise of a better future for all #SierraLeoneans.

Kicked off my visit to #Niger by meeting President Issoufou Mahamadou and @Niger_Finances Minister Diop. Thanked them for our excellent cooperation. Here to learn more about the potential and challenges to increasingly private sector-driven growth, and how the Fund can help. #IMFAfrica

Keeping girls in school is imperative to develop the Nigérien economy. Inspired by the work of ONG FAD Niger and the teachers we met today. Thank you for your dedication. The IMF is proud to support you. #IMFgiving #IMFgender

Engaging discussion with group of ministers in charge of the Nigérien economy. Discussed priority measures and best use of public resources to promote the private sector—formalization, energy, and #ICT are key. #Niger #DigitalTechnologies

What a difference education and resources make! At #Niger’s CodeLoccol, bright young coders are devising innovative solutions to local problems like crowdfunding, malaria detection, drone programs. I was impressed and inspired by their work.

My heartfelt gratitude to the #Nigerien authorities for their warm hospitality and close engagement. The Fund will continue to be your advocate and supporter in pursuing inclusive sustainable growth, maintaining sound public finances, and developing the private sector. #Niger

It has been an honor to work at the Fund, first for 8 yrs at the start of my professional career in 1981 & then as FDMD since 2011. The IMF is an institution that provides an invaluable service to its member countries, their citizens & the global economy. x.com/KGeorgieva/sta…

Honored to deliver the 8th C.D. Deshmukh Memorial Lecture at the NCAER today, titled “Looking Ahead: India in a Changing World.” ow.ly/C2A450ylZUr

Visited the IMF’s South Asia Regional Training and Technical Assistance Center (SARTTAC) in Delhi. Impressed with the range of work across South Asia and the deepening partnerships.

With the right policies, India could be a source of “secular dynamism,” as a crucial counterweight to the secular stagnation of advanced economies. Success relies on bold reforms & an international system that ensures integration & multilateral cooperation ow.ly/JYmZ50ymCyh

Participated in the Regional Forum on Fostering Growth in South Asia. Great research, including on trade, financial sector, and labor market.

Had a fascinating tour of Infosys campus today in Bengaluru, and excellent meetings with Deepak Padaki and Raghu Cavale. Great discussion with #fintech leaders and the Director General of NCAER, #ShekharShah. Transformative innovations taking place in India!

Today is my last day at the IMF. It has been the highlight of my career to work with such a talented and dedicated group of people, in the service of our 189 member countries. Thank you for this privilege and opportunity, and for placing your trust and confidence in me.

For all followers, I left the IMF yesterday and will now be David Lipton (in place of the old @Lipton_IMF). Hope to stay in touch with you all.

Thank you IMF staff for the send off and for 8 1/2 years of great teamwork. You have shown you can tackle any problem the world throws at you. You have my admiration.

Ok, I don't think I will ever get over this. As a HUGE fan of Big B Amitabh Bachchan, the Greatest of All Time, this is special!

Lael Brainard David Lipton August 2008!!!!! CAN AMERICA STILL LEAD IN THE GLOBAL ECONOMY? Makes for interesting reading 12 years later.
