In an uncertain world, Keynes’s insights remain vital. Economics is about judgment and ethics, not just models. His lessons guide us through today’s challenges. Remembering Robert Skidelsky, the leading authority on Keynes, whom we lost in April. https://t.co/iaU2qZrKmN

Higher oil prices are contributing to a pickup in headline inflation. But medium-term expectations generally remain well anchored. That is an encouraging sign of confidence in central banks' commitment to price stability. Read @KGeorgieva's latest blog. https://t.co/BytwT1BWqA

Energy and food price shocks are putting pressure on public finances. New IMF analysis shows nearly 900 measures across 170 countries, often untargeted and costly. Better policies protect people, not prices, with targeted and temporary support. Read more: https://t.co/S8dLgPUp8U

My thoughts are with the people of Venezuela following the devastating earthquakes. Heartfelt condolences to those who lost loved ones. We remain closely engaged with the authorities as they assess the economic impact and recovery needs for Venezuela.

Aid to sub-Saharan Africa is falling fast. Cuts are deep, broad, and hitting countries with limited room to adjust. For countries with limited fiscal space, the challenge is to protect essential services while building domestic capacity for the long term. https://t.co/FwnRjUl7t0

Great to meet PM Rumen Radev today in Sofia. Maintaining sound macro policies and advancing national and EU reforms and governance will help unlock opportunities, reinforce institutions, boost investment and productivity, and support durable, inclusive growth.

A productive set of meetings with Ministers of Finance and Central Bank Governors from across Europe. We discussed Europe’s economic outlook and the policies and reforms needed to sustain stability and long-term resilience.

Great exchange in Varna with Bulgaria’s new Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Galab Donev. The economy has momentum—but rising pressures call for timely policy action to safeguard stability and lock in euro adoption gains.

Today’s agreement with Austria on the Joint Vienna Institute @jvi_vienna is all about investing in people, skills, and cooperation.

[Kristalina Georgieva @KGeorgieva]

Great exchange with Joint Vienna Institute @jvi_vienna staff and course participants. Almost 60,000 officials have been trained at the JVI. It has made an enormous contribution to strengthening economic policies and institutions from Europe to central Asia and beyond.

[Kristalina Georgieva @KGeorgieva]

Delighted to sign a renewed agreement with @OeNB and Austria’s Ministry of Finance—extending our partnership to strengthen capacity development through the Joint Vienna Institute @jvi_vienna. We are very grateful for this support.
