Global economic leaders and policy makers have attended the IMF and World Bank annual meetings in Washington DC. They heard from the IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva who had a mixed message about the economic outlook. 

Our guests: 

• Muhammad Aurangzeb is the Pakistani Finance Minister. 
• John Gong is a professor at the University of International Business and Economics in Beijing and a China Forum expert. 
• David Monyae is Director of the Center for Africa-Asia Studies.
• Sourabh Gupta is Senior Asia-Pacific policy specialist at the Institute for China-America Studies. 

At a time of growing fragmentation, it’s powerful to see our members come together around one table, committed to finding solutions the world needs. The IMFC mtg shows the IMF at its best: a bridge linking our membership’s efforts toward a brighter future. https://t.co/2N1LobsA37 pic.twitter.com/8p7fxVMe9T
