The Arab Summit held Friday in Jeddah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, welcomed the hosting by the Kingdom of Morocco of the Annual Meeting of the World Bank Group (WB) and the International Monetary Fund (IMF), scheduled from 9 to 15 October in Marrakech.
In the resolutions at the end of its work, the Summit expressed the support of Arab leaders to Morocco's efforts to make this international event a success, urging Arab countries and parties concerned to actively participate in these meetings.
The Annual Meeting of the Bretton Woods Institutions is considered the most important annual conclave of the international financial sector. It brings together about 14,000 eminent persons, including the finance ministers and central bank governors of the 189 member countries of the two institutions, as well as representatives of the private sector, non-governmental organizations, academia and the media.
The choice of Morocco to host the 2023 Annual Meetings of the WB and the IMF consolidates the Kingdom's reputation as a privileged destination for holding major international conferences. Similarly, Marrakech reinforces its position as a city open to the world.
