Live now - Ukraine’s Minister of Finance ⁦Sergii Marchenko⁩ joins ⁦Atlantic Council⁩ in Marrakesh during the IMF-World Bank Meetings to discuss US aid, Russia’s blocked assets, and Ukraine’s reconstruction.

We don’t know what will happen in the Middle East, but it could be a prolonged conflict, says Atlantic Council GeoEconomics Center’s Martin Mühleisen.

The IMF missed an opportunity to speak out on the US debt ceiling debate

Yep! Time for the U.S. and Western democracies to step up. For most countries, they remain more attractive partners than China, but money and well-meant conditions aren’t enough. A broader agenda is needed, including trade and market access.
