For the first time, the IMF is launching an external Anti-Corruption Challenge during the Annual Meetings. The Challenge is aimed at generating solutions of specific relevance for the IMF’s governance and anti-corruption agenda.

The one-day event will kick off with opening remarks by the IMF’s General Counsel followed by a series of four 45-minute panel discussions around challenges and opportunities in improving governance and fighting corruption. Join the Challenge!
