On the occasion of Thailand hosting the 2026 IMF–World Bank Group Annual Meetings, from 12–18 October 2026 at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center, Thailand has introduced its Country Theme, “Thailand’s New Horizons: Empowering People, Building Resilience,” along with the development and design of the official Key Visual.
🌐 This theme reflects Thailand’s “New Horizons” as the country returns to host the IMF–World Bank Group Annual Meetings for the first time in 35 years since 1991. It underscores Thailand’s progress from past to future—recognizing that development is not measured solely by economic growth, but by growth that is internally strengthened and resilient to risks.
👥 Under the dimension of Empowering People, Thailand firmly believes that people are at the heart of national development. Creating equal opportunities, ensuring inclusive access to economic and financial systems, and enhancing the potential of all segments of society form the essential foundation for sustainable growth.
💹 At the same time, under the dimension of Building Resilience, Thailand places importance on strengthening immunity across all areas—economy, finance, energy, environment, and climate change adaptation—so the country can adapt and move forward steadily amid the challenges of a rapidly changing world.
🌏 The Key Visual of the Meetings not only reflects Thailand’s role and identity as host, but also conveys the country’s readiness to connect with the international community, foster a spirit of cooperation, and jointly drive the global economy toward sustainable progress—while warmly welcoming participants from around the world.
