The Data for Decisions Fund—or D4D—is the IMF’s main multi-partner vehicle for providing statistics training and technical assistance to developing economies, especially low- and lower middle-income countries as well as fragile and conflict-affected states. The 2025 Spring Meetings mark the launch of phase II of the fund, with potentially additional contributions. This high-level event, featuring IMF’s Deputy Managing Director Bo Li, showcases the success and impact of capacity development under D4D phase I and highlights the new areas and innovative approaches to be introduced under phase II. Speakers will include high-level representatives of the beneficiary and donor countries.
