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.

Great exchange with South Africa's Finance Minister Godongwana & Governor @KganyagoLesetja on the economic outlook & risks for the country & region. Prudent macroeconomic policies & structural reforms have strengthened South Africa's resilience to current & future shocks.

@EmmaSadleir Amazing Emma! Bravo.

[Kristalina Georgieva @KGeorgieva]

I'm often asked how the IMF finances itself. We are like a credit union for countries. Our 191 members pool resources via quotas, creating nearly $1T in lending capacity, under a unique funding model that does not require budget appropriations.

We’re looking forward to welcoming our 191 members to Washington D.C. for the #IMFMeetings. Economic uncertainty is high - but so is our determination to support every member, every step of the way.

Over the past decade, growth in sub-Saharan Africa's resource-intensive countries has sharply slowed, falling below that of non-resource-intensive nations. Check out IMF Country Focus to learn what's behind this divergence and how to reignite growth. https://t.co/hLzGDZi6d9
