The 2026 Global Parliamentary Forum will take place on 13-14 April 2026, during the World Bank Group and IMF Spring Meetings in Washington D.C.

The Global Parliamentary Forum engages parliamentarians in a dialogue on development and the global economy, with discussions between parliamentarians and leadership of the WBG and the IMF. The event plays a critical role in building political will to ensure development impact, while encouraging country ownership, policy relevance and accountability. All sessions will provide concrete examples and actions parliamentarians can implement to address development challenges. This edition will feature discussions on job creation, state fragility, good governance, and private sector investment.
