IMF and WTO Agenda for 2006

This year, there will be two meetings.

April 22-23
2006 Spring Meetings of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank Group
Washington, D.C.

September 19–20
2006 Annual Meetings of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank Group
Singapore

Plans have already been made to hold actions and events in Washington DC during
the Spring meetings, and in the days leading up to the weekend. It is anticipate
that there will be calls from grassroots social movements in the Global South to
organize against the IMF and World Bank on these dates.

Last year was a great year as no deals were struck at the Hong Kong Ministerial Conference. This year, we will build on last year's success to ensure that the
people of the various nations are not subjected to the money making schemes of the rich nations.
