About World Bank Thailand 2026

The IMF–World Bank Annual Meetings bring together finance ministers, central bank governors, global financial leaders, policy makers, and economists from around the world to exchange views and discuss key issues shaping the global economy and financial system.

Each year, the IMF and World Bank Group set a global theme for discussion on economic, financial, and development challenges. In addition, the host country presents its own national theme to share its development vision with the global community.

For the 2026 IMF–World Bank Group Annual Meetings: AM2026, Thailand has introduced the national theme:  “Thailand’s New Horizons: Empowering People, Building Resilience.” This theme highlights Thailand’s commitment to people-centered development, innovation, and strengthening economic and financial resilience to prepare for future challenges.

Thailand will showcase its strengths in digital payment systems, creative economy, wellness tourism, and workforce potential, while emphasizing skill development, financial inclusion, and opportunities that support stable income, long-term sustainability, and improved quality of life.

The country will also present its readiness to manage emerging risks from digital financial technologies, with a focus on secure, stable, and accessible digital finance for all — enhancing overall financial wellbeing.
