The 2026 Annual Meetings of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank Group (WBG) will take place from Monday, October 12, through Sunday, October 18 in Bangkok, Thailand. Holding the Annual Meetings in Bangkok underscores Thailand’s role as a regional and global convening hub, reflecting its economic resilience, institutional progress, and sustained deep engagement with international partners over the past three decades. The country last hosted the Annual Meetings in 1991. Hosting the Meetings again after a long interval highlights how the country—and the broader region—has advanced and recognizes Asia’s central role in shaping today’s global economic and financial stability agenda. Registration is now open.
