The Governor of the Central Bank of the Republic of Kosova (CBK), Mr. Ahmet Ismaili, joined governors and ministers of finance at the Regional Economic Outlook (REO) meeting, led by Mr. Alfred Kammer, Director of the European Department of the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

The meeting served as an important platform for exchanging views on key economic and financial developments affecting the region, while also fostering closer policy dialogue and cooperation among European countries.

The presentations highlighted the challenges facing the region amid heightened global uncertainty and ongoing conflicts, including the effects of external shocks, persistent inflationary pressures, and the risk of spillovers to other sectors. In this context, discussions also addressed the policy measures required to mitigate these risks, particularly from the perspective of monetary and fiscal policy.

The participation of governors and ministers of finance contributed to proactive discussions and the consideration of coordinated approaches to addressing regional economic and financial challenges.

Held in a closed-door format, the session marked the conclusion of an intensive week of engagements during the 2026 Spring Meetings in Washington DC.
