Episode 5: IMF, World Bank, Sovereign Debt & the Global Economy

How do two financial institutions in Washington, DC control so much of the world’s economy? In this episode of What In The World?, we’re breaking down the hidden power of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank—and what it means for your wallet, your country, and your future.

We’re diving deep into the history and influence of these global giants: why they were created, how they became gatekeepers for economic development, and why so many countries today are pushing for major reforms. From debt crises to climate finance, we unpack how decisions made at the IMF and World Bank meetings affect inflation, jobs, education, healthcare and more.

🟢Global decisions have serious impact on local jobs, cost of living, and social services

🟢Governments commit taxpayer dollars to fund programs, initiatives, and reforms

🟢Decisions made by the IMF and World Bank shape the economic future we’ll inherit
