The Central Bank of Venezuela announced that it is participating in the International Monetary Fund and World Bank Group annual meetings in Bangkok from Oct. 12 to 18. Venezuela’s welcome as a member of the 121st Meeting of Governors and Assembly of the Center for Latin American Monetary Studies was also reaffirmed, extending the central bank’s renewed engagement with the regional body following its reentry in May. The meetings cover artificial intelligence preparedness and IMF governance reform, including exchanges on other central banks’ experience with AI. The central bank characterized its participation, together with Venezuela’s seat at the G24 countries’ meeting, as part of its normalization of multilateral financial relations and as a monetary policy action intended to open channels for technical cooperation.
