Joe Biden, President of the United States, at the Annual Meetings of the Boards of Governors of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank, held in Washington D.C. on October 25, 2024. The statement highlights the eighty-year legacy of the IMF and World Bank in building a more stable, fair, and prosperous world. It emphasizes the urgent need to evolve these institutions to address contemporary challenges, including accelerating the clean energy transition, empowering workers, closing the infrastructure gap, combating nonmarket practices, and ensuring equitable representation. Significant progress is noted, with over $140 billion in new lending unlocked at the World Bank and over $20 billion in additional lending delivered by the United States at the IMF, alongside increased African representation. The President urged a stronger commitment to the International Development Association and support for debt-burdened countries, reiterating that nations should not be forced to choose between future investments and debt repayment. The statement concludes by framing the current moment as an inflection point, similar to eighty years prior, where present decisions will shape the future for decades, expressing the belief that urgent and purposeful action is necessary and achievable.","Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized  \nOctober 25, 2024  \nStatement by the Hon. JOE BIDEN,  \nPRESIDENT of the UNITED STATES, at the Annual Meetings of the Boards of Governors of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank  \nOpening Remarks by the President of the United States, Joe Biden at the Opening Session of the Plenary Meeting of the Board of Governors of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank,  \nWashington, D.C., October 25, 2024  \nHello, everyone. And welcome to Washington.  \nEighty years ago, our forbearers came together to establish the IMF and the World Bank. Their goal was to build a more stable, more fair, and more prosperous world for everyone. Today we make further progress toward that goal. We need to urgently evolve our institutions to respond to the challenges of our time. Accelerating the clean energy transformation, empowering workers, closing the infrastructure gap, addressing pervasive nonmarket practices, ensuring our institutions represent all the people we serve.  \nWe're already making important headway together. At the World Bank, we have unlocked over $140 billion in new lending. At the IMF, the United States has delivered over $20 billion in additional lending, and together, we have made sure African countries have more seats at the table.  \nSo my message today is very simple. Let's keep it up. As we head into the G-20 Summit next month, we all need to make a stronger commitment to the International Development Association. And we need to help countries saddled with debt because nations shouldn't have to choose between investing in their future or paying back their creditors.  \nLet me close with this. Like 80 years ago, we stand at an inflection point, where the decisions we make now will determine the course of our future for decades to come. Will we act with urgency and purpose to meet the moment? I believe there's only one answer. We can, we must, and we will.
