Senator Dwayne George, joined by a delegation from the Ministry of Finance, represented Antigua and Barbuda at the 2025 Annual Meetings of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank, held in Washington, D.C.
The global gathering brought together finance ministers, central bank governors, and key policymakers from around the world to address pressing economic issues, policy priorities, and strategies for sustainable development.
Antigua and Barbuda’s active participation ensures the nation remains engaged in shaping the international financial agenda while deepening partnerships with global financial institutions and development partners.
