01. Georgieva Talks to Washington Post

IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva joined Washington Post columnist David Ignatius on Wednesday to discuss the Fund’s latest World Economic Outlook and how the organization is using its firepower to support its membership. Watch a video of the wide-ranging discussion that also took in the situation in Ukraine and the economic impact of possible sanctions.

02. Special Drawing Rights

One of the most significant measures by the IMF in response to the global pandemic was the historic allocation of Special Drawing Rights equivalent to $650 billion. Ceyla Pazarbasioglu, Director of the Strategy, Policy, and Review Department, appeared alongside central bankers and government ministers on Wednesday to explore ways to exploit the power of these SDRs at a panel discussion hosted by the Center for Global Development.

03. Gender-based Violence

The IMF’s Ratna Sahay and Rasmané Ouedraogo joined speakers from UN Women and the Government of Rwanda on Thursday to highlight how the pandemic and associated lockdowns have led to a rise in gender-based violence in sub-Saharan Africa. Beyond the moral imperative, the speakers underlined the importance of combating violence against women from an economic standpoint. Watch here.

04. Supply Shocks

The auto sector is macro-critical in many European countries. A recent IMF staff paper assesses the impact of global pandemic-induced labor supply shocks—both directly and via supply chains—during the initial phase of COVID-19 on the auto sector and aggregate activity in Europe.

05. Capacity Development

A new IMF staff paper proposes reforms to widen the reach of capacity development information, including technical assistance and training, at a time when members, partners and other providers expect greater transparency and access to information.
