The IMF and World Bank Group’s independently published schedules place their 2026 Annual Meetings in Bangkok from October 12 through 18. The World Bank lists a private-capital-for-jobs flagship event for October 14, the Development Committee for October 15, the annual plenary for October 16 and the IMFC plenary for October 17.
The IMF schedule separately lists a Fiscal Monitor press briefing on October 14 and public sessions on taxation, public-finance technology and fraud resilience. The programs reveal the institutions’ chosen questions; they do not establish the answers adopted by governments.
There are two access layers. The World Bank lists both public programming and invitation-only events. Its streaming service says public events can be watched without registration. Access to a broadcast is therefore not the same thing as access to the decision-making room.
The practical distinction is between an agenda, a statement and an agreement. A scheduled panel proves that a subject has been placed before an audience. A committee document can establish a formal position. This filing records the current timetable and access rules, not unobserved conclusions. The World Bank labels its schedule subject to change.
