Finance ministers and central bank governors from the 184 IMF and World Bank member states are due to consider a plan to write off the debts of the world's poorest countries, as well as threats to global economic growth such as high oil prices, natural disasters and uneven economic development.
The Croatian delegation comprises Finance Minister Davor Suker, Croatian National Bank governor Zeljko Rohatinski, and Croatian Bank for Reconstruction and Development president Anton Kovacev.
At the IMF they are expected to discuss the economic growth in 2005, indications for 2006, preparations for the 2006 budget, and Croatia's external debt. The delegation's talks at the World Bank are expected to address structural reforms and cooperation with the bank.
The Croatian delegation is also expected to meet representatives of large banks such as UBS, Deutsche Bank, Citigroup and HSBC.
