Thank you, President @EmmanuelMacron, for hosting an engaging discussion on balanced, shared and sustainable growth at the G7 in Evian. Countries need to focus on productivity-enhancing reforms, harness the power of AI, and correct excessive external imbalances.

- As always, substantive meeting with President @ZelenskyyUa. Despite the hardship of war, Ukraine successfully follows the path of macro-financial stability. We reviewed progress of the IMF program & reforms to support Ukraine's EU accession, for the good of its economy & people.
- So far, the global economy is holding up despite war, but this masks significant differences across countries and regions. Energy importers and countries with limited policy space are most vulnerable. See my latest blog. imf.org/en/blogs/artic…
- Gràcies, Andorra 🇦🇩, for this inspiring and memorable visit! Andorra is proof that small states can stand tall. Looking forward to continuing our strong partnership.00:00
- What a treat to discover Andorra’s incredible history. From the inspiring Sanctuary of Meritxell, Andorra’s spiritual heart, to Casa de la Vall, one of Europe’s oldest parliaments, & the cultural treasure Santa Coloma, I’m left deeply in awe of the richness of its heritage.
- Thank you to Andorra’s Finance & Economy Ministers Ramon Lladós & Conxita Marsol for convening key policymakers to discuss global headwinds, structural reforms & benefits of the EU Association Agreement. Welcomed the chance to discuss how to keep strengthening our collaboration.
- Meeting Andorran business leaders today reminded me that growth comes from never standing still. We discussed their vision to further diversify Andorra’s economy, how the IMF can support, and why the well-negotiated EU Association Agreement is in the country’s best interest.
- A pleasure to address the press in Andorra alongside Prime Minister @XavierEspot. We spoke about IMF’s support for Andorra, the impact of the war in the Middle East, including slower growth & higher inflation in Europe, & why access to the single market is a natural next step.
- When Andorra joined the IMF in 2020, we wore masks & kept our distance. It’s wonderful to be in Andorra to properly celebrate its membership and remarkable progress in strengthening institutions, improving data transparency, and integrating into the global financial architecture.
- Honored to meet Andorra’s Head of Government, @XavierEspot. We discussed Andorra’s remarkable economic performance and how joining the EU single market will help further diversify the country’s economy, strengthening its resilience in a time of more frequent shocks.
- Delighted to be visiting Andorra 🇦🇩 for the first time. Since becoming the IMF’s 190th member in 2020, we have built a strong & growing partnership. I look forward to meeting with the authorities & experiencing firsthand the beauty of this country & the warmth of its people.
- Catching up with @NadiaCalvino at the margins of the Eurogroup meeting. Our professional journeys have crossed many times and our friendship has grown ever stronger.
- A warm reunion with my former boss Jean-Claude Juncker in Luxembourg — bringing back many wonderful memories from our days in service to Europe.
