Morocco wants IMF-World Bank meetings to proceed despite quake losses
The Moroccan government wants to proceed with International Monetary Fund-World Bank annual meetings scheduled for October in Marrakech despite Friday’s devastating earthquake that has killed nearly 2,700 people, two sources familiar with the meeting planning said on Monday.
“From the viewpoint of the Moroccan authorities, the annual meetings of the IMF and World Bank will take place as scheduled: October 9-15, 2023. There is no change of plan as of now,” one of the people, a source close to the Moroccan government, told Reuters.
The people were not authorized to speak publicly on the matter and spoke on condition of anonymity.
