The 2015 Spring Meetings (SM15) of the IMF and World Bank 
Group are upon us. This year, the meetings will take place from April 17-19. Although many events and (bilateral) meetings are behind closed doors, some are open to the public and/or will be broadcasted online.
Over the next few days we will be putting the spotlight on a number of events that could be of interest to your organization – either because they discuss the environment you operate in, the direction of the World Bank in the coming years, or because they discuss specific projects and investments. So make sure you check in regularly to see how the Spring Meetings affect your business!
