The Moroccan government wishes to proceed with annual meetings of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank scheduled for October in Marrakech despite Friday's devastating earthquake, two sources familiar with planning for the meetings said Monday.
"From the viewpoint of the Moroccan authorities, the annual meetings of the IMF and World Bank will take place as scheduled: October 9-15, 2023. There is no change of plan as of now," said one of the people, a source close to the Moroccan government.
The people were not authorized to speak publicly on the matter and spoke on condition of anonymity.
