Ok, I don't think I will ever get over this. As a HUGE fan of Big B @SrBachchan, the Greatest of All Time, this is special!

[David Lipton @DavidLipton]

Thank you IMF staff for the send off and for 8 1/2 years of great teamwork. You have shown you can tackle any problem the world throws at you. You have my admiration.

[David Lipton @DavidLipton]

For all followers, I left the IMF yesterday and will now be @DavidLipton (in place of the old @Lipton_IMF). Hope to stay in touch with you all.

[David Lipton @DavidLipton]

Today is my last day at the IMF. It has been the highlight of my career to work with such a talented and dedicated group of people, in the service of our 189 member countries. Thank you for this privilege and opportunity, and for placing your trust and confidence in me.

Had a fascinating tour of @Infosys campus today in Bengaluru, and excellent meetings with Deepak Padaki and Raghu Cavale. Great discussion with #fintech leaders and the Director General of @ncaer, #ShekharShah. Transformative innovations taking place in India!

Participated in the Regional Forum on Fostering Growth in South Asia. Great research, including on trade, financial sector, and labor market.

With the right policies, India could be a source of “secular dynamism,” as a crucial counterweight to the secular stagnation of advanced economies. Success relies on bold reforms & an international system that ensures integration & multilateral cooperation https://t.co/8kfrKA9Jzc

It has been an honor to work at the Fund, first for 8 yrs at the start of my professional career in 1981 & then as FDMD since 2011. The IMF is an institution that provides an invaluable service to its member countries, their citizens & the global economy.

My heartfelt gratitude to the #Nigerien authorities for their warm hospitality and close engagement. The Fund will continue to be your advocate and supporter in pursuing inclusive sustainable growth, maintaining sound public finances, and developing the private sector. #Niger

[David Lipton @DavidLipton]

What a difference education and resources make! At #Niger’s @CodeLoccol, bright young coders are devising innovative solutions to local problems like crowdfunding, malaria detection, drone programs. I was impressed and inspired by their work.

[David Lipton @DavidLipton]

Engaging discussion with group of ministers in charge of the Nigérien economy. Discussed priority measures and best use of public resources to promote the private sector—formalization, energy, and #ICT are key. #Niger #DigitalTechnologies

[David Lipton @DavidLipton]

Keeping girls in school is imperative to develop the Nigérien economy. Inspired by the work of @ONGFADniger and the teachers we met today. Thank you for your dedication. The IMF is proud to support you. #IMFgiving #IMFgender

[David Lipton @DavidLipton]
