World Bank and IMF meetings – battle of the brands
23 Septiembre 2011 | Caroline Pearce

It’s the time of year when Washington DC fills up with finance ministers, development ministers and central bank governors, all in town for a G20 meeting and for the annual meetings of the World Bank and IMF. Oxfam is also here, lobbying for policies that benefit people living in poverty, and trying to keep attention on the most marginalized in the midst of fears about eurozone debt and US deficits.

The IMF on the Root Causes of the Global Economic Crisis
19 Abril 2010 | Pamela Gomez

This blog is part of a short series of Oxfam blogs on the role of international financial institutions, and the fight against poverty.

Oxfam supporters show their golden touch
6 Octubre 2009 | Caroline Pearce

A big outcry from Oxfam supporters and others has helped convince the IMF to use some of its gold to help the poorest countries weather the storm of the economic crisis. They haven’t given as much as we asked – but thank you for ensuring that the poorest countries got some of these resources upfront.

The antidote to crisis
29 Abril 2009 | Katie Malouf

I’m writing this from a windowless room in the IMF basement where our Oxfam team has been camped out for almost a week covering the World Bank and International Monetary Fund Spring Meetings. You can really lose your perspective down here, away from the sunlight and the bustling streets of Washington. So we keep reminding each other to get outside to enjoy a few minutes of spring sunshine every once in a while to stay grounded.
