IMF and World Bank Group To Hold Fall Meetings On September
28-29, 2002

The 2002 fall meetings of the International Monetary Fund and the
World Bank Group will take place in Washington, D.C. over two
days, September 28 and 29, 2002, the Executive Boards of the two
institutions decided yesterday.

The meetings are being consolidated to September 28-29 to allow
them to be conducted in a streamlined manner that takes into
account the needs of the two institutions and logistical
considerations. All the normal business of the meetings—the Joint
Annual Meetings of the Boards of Governors, the International
Monetary and Financial Committee and the Development
Committee—will take place.

The meetings serve to discuss international economic and
financial developments and policies to strengthen sustainable
economic growth and poverty reduction. The meetings provide a
forum for international cooperation and enable the Fund and Bank
to better serve their 183 member countries.
