"The Annual and Spring Meetings of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank Group each year bring together central bankers, ministers of finance and development, private sector executives, civil society representatives, and academics to discuss the state of the global economy and issues of international concern, such as the growth outlook, financial stability, and poverty reduction. The Meetings are the only gathering of its kind in the world and a unique forum for discussion on economic policymaking.

Participants include the governors themselves and their alternates, as well as members of their delegations, observers from other intergovernmental organizations, such as the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the World Trade Organization (WTO), and representatives from financial institutions and bodies, such as the Financial Stability Board (FSB), as well as numerous journalists, academics, and representatives of civil society organizations."

CRUCIAL QUESTIONS?!

Should the World Bank Group and IMF intensify concerted resolve to achieve successful results with developmental projects carefully and constructively designed to improve the lives of populations yet subjected to horrific quagmires of abject poverty?!

Should the World Bank Group and IMF - now more than ever before - remind the 'world of wealth' of the vastness of "humane priorities" that require "global commitments" in order to embark upon a path that actualizes a quality of life with viable sustainability for ALL of Humanity?!

Should the World Bank Group and IMF show by example "the unity of Humanity" working to build a better world NOW . . . and for future generations to come?!
