Europe under pressure. Deep dive in the “One Europe One Market” project. An effective response. @IEuniversity @iespega @IMFNews @DelorsInstitute

Europe is under pressure. To safeguard its social model, it must become more productive and resilient. A fully integrated single market would deliver both economic strength and resilience. @EnricoLetta @DelorsInstitute @iespega @IEuniversity @IMFNews @matellysy #EUCO @EUCouncil

Good exchange with @KGeorgieva on Europe’s competitiveness. A strong starting point for today’s discussions at our College seminar. In a world of sharp competition and short horizons, we are building Europe’s competitiveness. It begins with strength at home. With jobs and growth in Europe. And with simpler rules for our businesses and citizens. It extends through our ever increasing network of trusted trade partners. Looking forward to today’s discussion. This work will continue with EU leaders on 12 February. The urgency is clear to us all.

On Monday, January 26, IMF Managing Director @KGeorgieva will participate in a high-level fireside chat with @jzettelmeyer, Director of @Bruegel_org, on Europe’s economic outlook and the state of the global economy bruegel.org/event/global-a… @IMFNews

Today in Brussels, IMF Chief Economist Pierre-Olivier Gourinchas @pogourinchas joined @CEPS_thinktank Chief Executive @karel_lannoo and Senior Researcher @AlcidiCinzia for a discussion on the global economic outlook.

Meeting with Pres @ZelenskyyUa today, I reaffirmed the IMF’s enduring partnership with Ukraine. The country’s resilience in the face of war has been extraordinary. We strongly support continued reforms, vital for recovery, stability, and Ukraine’s journey toward EU accession.

Standing at Kyiv’s Wall of Remembrance, I honor the lives lost defending Ukraine’s freedom. Their courage lives on in every family and in the enduring resilience of the Ukrainian people. It deepens our resolve to stand with Ukraine. 🇺🇦

In Kyiv today to discuss IMF support for Ukraine and to witness firsthand the resilience of a people who have endured four years of an unjust war. Your courage inspires the world. 🇺🇦
