Written answers

As Ireland’s Governor at the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank Group, I travelled to Washington D.C. in October to attend the 2024 IMF-World Bank Annual Meetings. These meetings provided me with a valuable opportunity to engage with finance ministers from around the world, along with leading figures from the IMF and World Bank to discuss current and emerging economic, fiscal and monetary developments.

While US Treasury Secretary Yellen and I were attendees at a number of different Ministerial engagements during my visit, I did not have a bilateral meeting with Ms. Yellen on this occasion.
