IMF-WIFPR Conference on the Evolving Global Financial Architecture

The 2025 IMF-WIFPR Conference took place on Tuesday, June 17, 2025.

Jointly organized by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the Wharton Initiative on Financial Policy and Regulation (WIFPR), the IMF-WIFPR Conference on the Evolving Global Financial Architecture brought together a distinguished group of academic researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to explore the implications of rising fragmentation in the international economic order for global macro-financial stability. Amid heightened economic uncertainty, this conference fostered timely dialogue and promoted a deeper understanding of the evolving global financial landscape.

This year’s conference built on the success of the previous two conferences, the 2024 IMF-WIFPR Conference on Financial and Real Implications of Technologies, AI, and Cyber Risks and the 2023 IMF-WIFPR Conference on Non-Bank Financial Intermediation, Financial Stability, and Policy Responses. Going forward, the IMF and WIFPR plan to continue this collaborative effort with annual conferences tackling critical topics at the forefront of financial stability, macroeconomic effects, and policy strategies.

The program is available here.

The conference was held at IMF headquarters in Washington, DC.
