MEETINGS WITH PARTNER


COUNTRIES AND ORGANIZATIONS... The OPEC Fund works with global partners to maximize its development impact


The OPEC Fund’s Assistant Director-General, Public Sector Operations, Fuad Albassam attended the joint World Bank Group/IMF Development Committee’s 100th Meeting. In its statement to the meeting, the Fund noted: “Over the coming months, the OPEC Fund will strengthen its efforts to provide support to developing countries – especially low-income countries – in an increasingly complex and challenging development landscape. Our overarching goal is to maximize our development impact.” Albassam is pictured on his way to the meeting with the OPEC Fund’s Director, Asia Region, Anajulia Taylhardat.


The OPEC Fund’s high-level delegation met with the Minister of Finance of Ethiopia, Ahmed Shide, to discuss strengthening development cooperation. The Fund has partnered with Ethiopia since it was established back in 1976.


World Bank Middle East and North Africa (MENA) Chief Economist Rabah Arezki spoke about promoting fair competition in MENA and the need for bolder and deeper economic reforms in the region. Arezki was briefing the OPEC Fund’s delegation during a meeting about wider development collaboration, which preceded the signing of a new framework agreement.
