Safeguarding Economic Integrity: Confronting Corruption and Illicit Flows

Wednesday, Apr 15, 2026 | 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM

Location: HQ1 Atrium HQ1-1-700

Overview

Amid escalating global uncertainty, strengthening economic and financial integrity has become critical to protecting stability and sustaining public trust. Corruption, money laundering, and other economic crimes do not merely exploit institutional weaknesses, they actively deepen them by obstructing policy implementation, draining public resources, and eroding growth. This session will provide first-hand examples of the IMF’s work on anticorruption and anti-money laundering as an essential component of the IMF’s mandate and engagement, along with a donor-perspective on this agenda.
