It is a pleasure to begin the new year by meeting one of our key partners, Prime Minister @kmitsotakis. We continue to support #Greece in its endeavor to improve growth, increase competitiveness, and further reduce unemployment and poverty.

My warm congrats to Abhijit Banerjee, Esther Duflo, and Michael Kremer on winning the Nobel for their work on global poverty. I am especially proud that Esther came to the IMF in 2016 to deliver our Richard Goode lecture. #NobelPrize
