Thanks to @Mirasovic and colleagues for a warm reception at @MoFmv. A fascinating meeting where @fergusac (@FCDOGovUK Deputy Chief Economist), Camilla Sugden (Deputy Head, FCDO South Asia Regional Department) and David Perkoff (FCDO South Asia Economic Analyst) learnt so much.

@Claudia_Sahm So sorry to hear this. We only met once when I visited the Board but our meeting had a lasting positive effect on me. All the best for recovery.

I'm writing emails to macro guy friends/mentors about this tonight. I can't sleep. Shockingly, they aren't on social media. I have annoyed a few (yeah, bipolar me, sigh). I love having to add "please read" to the subject lines. Some won't. That's ok.

My post also shares some personal news. I am sharing it here, too, as it will soon be obvious on TV. I promised my kids I would get the possible care, and thankfully, that's exactly what I am lining up.

No guinea worm cases have been detected in the first three months of 2024 - worldwide! If this continues, we could soon achieve global eradication of the third disease in history. Here's how much guinea worm has declined since the 1980s. Note: log scale.

Had a discussion with Dr. Fergus Cumming, Deputy Chief Economist of the Foreign Commonwealth & Development Office and HE Andrew Patrick, British High Commissioner in Sri Lanka on current economic trends, their implications, several emerging challenges and opportunities, particularly in the context of post-crisis recovery efforts. We further discussed on the IMF programme translating to outcome along with reforms going beyond the programme and the importance of staying in course with reforms. Exchanged views on strengthening tax administration practices.
