THAILAND’S Ministry of Finance and the Bank of Thailand said on Tuesday that the country is fully prepared to host the upcoming 2026 Annual Meetings of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank Group.
As one of the world’s largest economic gatherings, over 15,000 delegates, including policymakers, economists, government officials, business leaders, and journalists from worldwide, are expected to attend the conference set for 12 to 18 October in Bangkok.
Thai Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Ekniti Nitithanprapas said preparations have been organized under three subcommittees overseeing substantive content, protocol and operations, and security, with IMF and World Bank delegations conducting a final on-site readiness review earlier this month. Speaking at a press conference, Ekniti emphasized that the event brings tangible benefits to the Southeast Asian country, including an economic boost, a stronger international image and credibility, and greater visibility for local communities on the world stage.
