France’s response to the energy shock has so far been appropriate. High public debt and rising spending pressures underscore the need to advance consolidation, building on the 2025 fiscal overperformance. https://t.co/k2va1XcPd1

Thank you @msarafoglou and @ANT1TV for a very good discussion on Greece’s terrific recent economic performance; the implications of the global energy shock for Europe; and the transformative power of AI. Watch it here: https://t.co/IGg6pD7vpn

At #NoMoneyForTerror to share IMF’s contribution to fighting financing of terrorism - it is integral to our work on macroeconomic and financial stability, particularly in fragile and conflict-affected countries.

Excellent discussion with @NBUkraine Governor @Pyshnyy on the margins of the #G7 FMCBG meeting in Paris. An independent NBU plays a key role in safeguarding macro-financial stability and is a highly valued partner in the IMF program with Ukraine.

[Kristalina Georgieva @KGeorgieva]

Very productive meeting with @RachelReevesMP at the #G7 in Paris today. We discussed the resilience of the UK economy and the challenges posed by a more volatile global environment, including the impact of higher energy prices.

Great discussion with Prime Minister @kmitsotakis on Greece’s excellent economic performance. Thanks to bold and sustained reforms, it has increased revenues, investment and growth. What a way to rebound from adversity - bravo Greece!

[Kristalina Georgieva @KGeorgieva]

More frequent shocks have increased the need for regional cooperation. Grateful for an important conversation on closer Gulf Cooperation Council and Europe ties at the Europe Gulf Forum in Greece, including with @AdelAljubeir, @GiorgiaMeloni, @alexstubb, @tzitzikostas.

Greece was once shut out of markets and collecting too little tax. Today it runs a primary budget surplus and stands as one of only five EU countries to do so. Tax administration reform powered this striking reversal. https://t.co/RZggSA3HFr

Grateful for many substantive conversations in Poznań. I met Polish business leaders at @ImpactCEE, had a great exchange on AI with @mati of @ElevenLabs, & reconnected with @JustinTrudeau. My visit ended with a tour of a @VW plant - to see how innovation is reshaping transport.

[Kristalina Georgieva @KGeorgieva]

It was wonderful to spend time with Poland’s Minister of Finance @Domanski_Andrz at @ImpactCEE. We discussed global uncertainty, fiscal priorities and the need for better European cooperation to accelerate growth.

[Kristalina Georgieva @KGeorgieva]

Thank you, Jan Niedziałek and @tvn24, for the opportunity to discuss Poland’s economic record - and the current policy priorities for Poland and Europe amid global uncertainty. https://t.co/TlBD1Lc02p

[Kristalina Georgieva @KGeorgieva]

I was happy to engage with Polish journalists alongside Minister @Domanski_Andrz at @ImpactCEE. We discussed Poland’s strong economic performance, the impact of the energy supply shock on Europe - and the importance of responding with prudence.

[Kristalina Georgieva @KGeorgieva]

Poland’s remarkable progress shows that fast, sustainable and inclusive growth is possible. At @ImpactCEE I reflected on the lessons from 🇵🇱 transformation, including the role that European integration can play in driving future growth. Read my remarks: https://t.co/YpoNXAmrEg

[Kristalina Georgieva @KGeorgieva]

Great meeting with Poland’s Prime Minister @donaldtusk in Poznań. We discussed Poland’s strong economic record and how to sustain it in the future, the role of defense spending, and what Europe can do to mitigate the impacts of the energy supply shock.

[Kristalina Georgieva @KGeorgieva]

Cześć, Polsko 🇵🇱! Delighted to be in Poznań for @ImpactCEE. Looking forward to speaking at this gathering of global leaders and innovative thinkers on AI, cybersecurity, clean technology, the future of societies - and more.
