The investment needs for the green transition are huge for all parts of the world – and sustainable finance can help direct money where it needs to go. A useful discussion with @DrDavidMasondo on South Africa’s perspective. #AM2023

Nigeria and the EU face many common challenges, so it was useful to discuss many of them with Wale Edun, @FinMinNigeria 🇳🇬🇪🇺 We talked about the economic situation, alongside fiscal policy, financial inclusion and sustainable finance. #AM2023

In my meeting with @FettahNadia, I expressed my solidarity with Morocco in their efforts to recover from the recent earthquake. Our wide-ranging discussion also covered topics including the importance of education and financing the green transition.

While in Morocco, the hosts of #AM2023, it’s great to learn more about the country’s financial system. My thanks to Fatima-Zahra Aziz and @FFinanciere for telling more about the experience with financial education in Morocco.

A fruitful conversation with Governor Abdellatif Jouahri @BankAlMaghrib reflecting on the macroeconomic outlook for Morocco, the EU and the world. #AM2023

Morocco’s hospitality as host of #AM2023 is impressive. Good to meet Moroccan Head of Government Aziz Akhannouch.

My thanks to Morocco for hosting the Annual Meetings of @IMFNews and @WorldBank. My first meeting in Marrakesh was with Andrew Bailey @bankofengland to discuss the importance of global financial stability and the position of non-banking financial institutions. #AM2023

@pjheissler Looking forward to the English version 😀

Da ist das Ding!

At the end of 2022, the EU created the role of International Special Envoy for the Implementation of EU Sanctions. Tune into the new @EU_Finance podcast episode to hear from @D0Sullivan (former @EUintheUS Ambassador) about what he's been up to in the role: europa.eu/!CPRhfD

Glad to discuss with our EU sanctions envoy @D0Sullivan about enforcement of EU sanctions against Russia and tackling circumvention. Coordination with our partners is crucial. We remain strongly committed to weakening Russia‘s war machine through sanctions.

🚨Basel deal: after a long night of negotiations we reached a deal on the banking package to finalise the implementation of the international Basel standards in the EU. Congratulations @sweden2023eu @NiklasWykman @jonasfernandez @itinagli @othmar_karas @GillesBoyer @Marcozanni86

The EU delegation in the US works tirelessly advancing issues of strategic importance to the EU & building a strong 🇪🇺🇺🇸relationship. #imfwbspringmeetings #euintheus
