A few photos of some of the ‘looks’ at the IMF/ World Bank Annual Meetings 2018
On the international banking scene, I expected a lot of bankers in grey and black suits. And while there was plenty of monochrome, I was really surprised at the colour and diversity of the meetings.
Here are a few of the people I got chatting to - check out the fashion!
To finish the day we cooled off in a waterfall and then sang songs on the way home in the car. Budi live streamed this to his followers… they are likely disappointed by New Zealand’s musical talents!
Hopefully we put on a more sophisticated performance tomorrow as we register for the IMF/World Bank Annual Meetings 2018.
Over these two weeks I hope to learn more about my team members and why they are passionate about the different projects they have decided to research. It’ll be really exciting to hang out with a bunch of Kiwis again, something I don’t have much opportunity to do since I moved to Australia for university. Hopefully, I will draw some inspiration from being among a bunch of individuals who are super passionate about important global issues.
I now travel to the annual meetings with one question in mind: How do we develop greater global resilience to climate change?
I know that in my specific case, burger king for breakfast does the trick (whoops! I was stressed! #balibody).
The amount of essays that I have started with the phrase “The world is on the cusp of the fourth industrial revolution” is insane. Its my go to. From Information Systems (where it might actually be applicable) to Art History (where I shove in a theme into my photography essay that doesn’t really fit). I can’t believe that I can write it with absolute truth now because I am off to the 2018 World Bank and IMF Annual Meetings in Bali.
I am so excited to be heading to the IMF and World Bank Annual Meetings in Bali for the next two weeks. I know that this is going to be an incredible opportunity, and look forward to the challenges that it will bring.
