Last day of #GPF2025 wrapping up! Key takeaways: – Global cooperation matters – AI needs thoughtful governance – Young MPs bring fresh perspectives (yay #YMP2025) – The World Bank has surprisingly good cookies Not sure which of these will have the most long-term impact on global stability.

I’m in Washington for the 2025 Spring Meetings of the World Bank & IMF. Today, I joined the #YMP2025 session with young MPs from around the world to discuss job creation, social protection & addressing fragility, conflict & violence. Great to meet @amirasabersd and other colleagues of the network #WBGMeetings #YouthLeadership

A thriving private sector doesn’t happen by chance. It’s built on an enabling business environment. At #WBGMeetings, I presented @WorldBank’s #BusinessReady report: a roadmap for reforms that unlock growth and jobs. Looking forward to the rest of this exciting week! @ParlNetwork

Great dialogue during the #YMP2025 event at #WBGMeetings with young MPs from around the world on how the @WorldBank supports jobs creation and countries facing fragility, conflict & violence #FCV #SMs

Excited to moderate a key session at the #GlobalYoungMPs 2025 on April 23! Topic: Breaking the Cycle – The Role of Youth in Tackling Fragility, Conflict & Violence. From Bawku to the world, youth must lead the way. #YouthForPeace #FCV #Ghana

Tuve el gran honor de asistir como panelista invitada a las Springs Meetings de @WorldBank y exponer el caso de México en materia retos en Inteligencia Artificial así como acciones para combatir violencia digital en los Congresos.

Honoured to speak this morning in Washington as Canada’s Chair for the World Bank and IMF Parliamentary Network. I arrived early yesterday morning for this week’s Spring Meetings. A reminder that private capital follows confidence—and confidence comes from sound policy, strong institutions, and trust. As parliamentarians, we play a key role in shaping the ecosystems that unlock investment, create jobs, and drive inclusive growth. In Canada, our robust banking system and trusted institutions offer a model for stability and opportunity. Thank you to the World Bank Group, IMF, and my fellow legislators for advancing this important dialogue. #WBGMeetings2025 #GPF2025 #WBG #IMF #PrivateCapital #ParliamentaryLeadership ——- Honoré d’avoir pris la parole ce matin à Washington à titre de président canadien du Réseau parlementaire de la Banque mondiale et du FMI. Je suis arrivé tôt hier matin pour participer aux Réunions de printemps de cette semaine. Un rappel que les capitaux privés suivent la confiance — et que la confiance repose sur des politiques solides, des institutions fortes et la stabilité. En tant que parlementaires, nous jouons un rôle clé dans la création d’écosystèmes favorables à l’investissement, à la création d’emplois et à une croissance inclusive. Au Canada, la robustesse de notre système bancaire et la confiance envers nos institutions offrent un modèle de stabilité et d’opportunité. Merci à la Banque mondiale, au FMI et à mes collègues parlementaires pour ce dialogue essentiel. #WBGMeetings2025 #GPF2025 #BanqueMondiale #FMI #CapitauxPrivés #LeadershipParlementaire @ParlNetwork

Nel panel “Catalyzing Private Capital for Growth and Jobs” ho menzionato anche l’esperienza italiana del FNSI appena iniziata e quella dei PIR. #fondodifondi #SpringMeetings2025 #GPF2025 @ParlNetwork @WorldBank @IMFNews
