The Key Visual for the 2026 Annual Meetings of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank Group, to be held from 12–18 October 2026 at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center in Bangkok, conveys this theme through visual elements rich in symbolic meaning.
The deep blue sky filled with stars reflects today’s interconnected world and the complexity of global challenges. Meanwhile, the rising dawn light emerging over the horizon of the Earth symbolizes “Thailand’s New Horizons” — the beginning of a new chapter of development driven by hope, vision, and collaboration.
The globe seamlessly integrated into the surface of a conference table represents a global forum where nations engage closely in dialogue. The individuals seated around the table embody the power of people as the center of decision-making and the shaping of the global economic agenda. This aligns with the dimension of Empowering People, which emphasizes expanding opportunities, promoting equity, and ensuring inclusive access to economic and financial systems.
All elements are carefully interwoven to reflect the dimension of Building Resilience — strengthening foundations from within, safeguarding economic and financial stability, enhancing preparedness for volatility, and fostering the capacity to adapt amid the risks of a rapidly changing world.
The Key Visual therefore represents more than the Meetings themselves; it portrays Thailand advancing toward a “new horizon” through the power of its people and resilience against risks, while connecting with the global community to help shape a sustainable economic future.
Thailand looks forward to welcoming Governors, policymakers, financial leaders, and participants from around the world to a platform for dialogue, partnership, and collective action in shaping the future of the global economy.
