Protesters Clash With Police at First IMF Gatherings in Thailand Since 1991

Global Markets6 days ago

Law enforcement fought with demonstrators outside the Queen Sirikit National Convention Centre during the dual annual meetings of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank. Finance ministers and central bankers convened in Bangkok to address record debt levels, soaring energy prices, and the economic impact of the Middle East conflict, while bond market jitters persisted over current policy tightening.

The gathering is the first time since 1991 that Thailand has hosted the forums, which the government is using as a tool for soft power. Bank of Japan Governor Ueda traveled to Thailand from October 13 to 17 for the events, but US Treasury Secretary Bessent skipped the IMF, World Bank, and G20 meetings due to domestic engagements. IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva stated that steady global economic growth has continued since the spring.
