Global Policy Agenda Aims to Sustain Growth Momentum, Build Inclusiveness

For the first time in years, the global economy is gaining momentum against the backdrop of a rapidly changing and uncertain world. Trade, economic integration, and technological progress have brought enormous benefits—but some groups are missing out on the rewards. Policymakers are increasingly grappling with how to ensure that these benefits are shared more broadly. Working within the multilateral framework, countries should strive for strong and more balanced growth and to provide economic opportunities for all.

The Managing Director’s Global Policy Agenda, which will be discussed with the IMF’s policy-setting body—the International Monetary and Financial Committee—outlines the challenges that policymakers face, the policy priorities for the IMF’s 189 member countries, and what the Fund can do to support its members.

The report discusses how the institution can help its members design policies and reforms that raise growth, enhance resilience, and make the global economy more inclusive and durable. The Global Policy Agenda also stresses that multilateral cooperation is the most effective vehicle for addressing global challenges.
