On Father’s Day, I’m thinking of my father and the values he instilled in me. Grateful to all fathers and father figures who inspire and guide the next generation.
شِلْحُ زَنبَقٍ أنا … إكسِرني على ثرى بلادي 🇱🇧
في أزمنة الحرب والقلق، حين يثقل الغد بالأسئلة وتكبر المسافات بيننا وبين من نحب، نكتشف أكثر من أي وقت مضى معنى الانتماء إلى هذه الأرض. كما غنّت فيروز، يحمل كل لبناني في قلبه حباً لوطنه يتجاوز السياسة والحروب وتقلّبات الزمن. قد نغادره، وقد نتعب من وجعه، لكن شيئاً فينا يبقى مشدوداً إلى ترابه، إلى ذاكرته، وإلى الوجوه التي نفتقدها.
في زمن الشك، يبقى لبنان يقيناً. وفي زمن الغياب، يبقى الحنين إليه أقوى من كل شيء 🇱🇧❤

The war in the Middle East has disrupted oil and gas flows. But the impact is far from even. Energy exporters face smaller headwinds, while countries hit by conflict or reliant on imports bear the greatest costs. The chart shows why policy space matters. https://t.co/8mxajjJ4f2
Bravo to #Dara on winning this year’s @Eurovision Song Contest, and to all artists for bringing so many people together through the power of music. I look forward to my country Bulgaria hosting next year’s edition.

Being a mother has shaped how I see the world, teaching me resilience, empathy, and responsibility for the next generation. Wishing all mothers a very happy Mother’s Day. Thank you for everything you give every day.
Today we mark the anniversary of the IMF’s Executive Board. First convened on May 6, 1946, at a defining moment for the world, it laid the foundation of an institution built on cooperation & shared responsibility. Eighty years later, these principles remain our greatest strength.
April was about facing and tackling another global shock—together. At the #IMFMeetings, we brought members together to steady the outlook, protect the most vulnerable through targeted support, and rebuild buffers for resilience. Thank you for the thoughtful dialogue.
Hearing my career journey told through the voices of close friends and collaborators was deeply meaningful. Every step I took was made possible by people who believed in me. Thank you @BBCPodcasts, @beckmilligan for featuring me on Profile.

Greetings from London! I’m looking forward to joining colleagues at the London School of Economics @LSEnews to celebrate @lordstern1’s 80th birthday and to exchange ideas with eminent voices in global economics. #LSEEvents
Over 80% of countries in the world are net oil importers. Vulnerable economies—especially in Sub Saharan Africa and small island states—are bearing the brunt of this shock. Our members will come together next week to find a path forward. Full speech: https://t.co/fHYzyuzTOb
Tokenization can transform finance—faster settlement, better liquidity, smarter compliance. But progress depend on trust: clear rules, legal certainty, and sound governance. Our new IMF Note explores what’s at stake: https://t.co/3E2EXkuzfM
At the IMF, we are stepping up support for our members, especially the most vulnerable. In an uncertain world, more countries need more of our policy advice, capacity development, and financial assistance. We are here for them.
The war in the Middle East is upending lives and livelihoods. The economic impact will ripple through energy, trade, and financial markets—affecting countries in different ways. Our latest blog explores the asymmetric effects of this global shock. https://t.co/wqswm5u2QN
Excited to share: the IMF is establishing a new regional capacity development center to support the Western Balkans and Moldova. The Southeast Europe Technical Assistance Center (SEETAC) is expected to begin operations by January 2027, in Rome. https://t.co/6NRJk6hFjX
An emotional visit to communities affected by Cyclone Ditwah in Sri Lanka. I met families who have lost everything, including loved ones, and witnessed both deep hardship and remarkable resilience. The IMF stands with you.
