As we look ahead to the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund annual meetings, we discuss what to expect from the summit, including whether the decisions made will have a meaningful impact and help overcome some of the biggest challenges in global development.

With the looming U.S. elections just around the corner, we consider the potential implications for the World Bank's strategy and the influence the vote may exert on this year’s annual meetings. While the rhetoric around this summit is based on the idea of “getting things done,” we contemplate how the global political landscape will influence outcomes.

What next for the International Development Association replenishment? What will be the big announcements?

To discuss these questions and look ahead to the event, Devex President and Editor-in-Chief Raj Kumar sits down with Senior Reporters Adva Saldinger and Michael Igoe for the latest episode of our weekly podcast series.
