Debt, climate back on IMF, WB agenda

WASHINGTON: The spring meetings of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank are due to open Tuesday, US time, with two clear objectives: help countries combat climate change and assist the most indebted nations.

The meetings — which bring central bankers together with finance and development ministers, academics and representatives from the private sector and civil society to discuss the state of the global economy — will kick off with the IMF's publication of its updated World Economic Outlook.
