PBOC's Pan attended and spoke at the IMF's 54th International Monetary and Financial Committee meeting in Bangkok on Oct. 16-17, 2026; PBOC Deputy Governor Xuan Changneng also participated. The committee said the global economy has performed better than expected despite geopolitical shocks, but rising trade tensions and rapid AI-driven divergence increase uncertainty and leave downside risks intact. It urged focus on macroeconomic and financial stability through international cooperation. The IMFC called on members to promptly complete domestic approval procedures for the 16th General Quota Review capital increase and to advance quota and governance discussions under the Guiding Principles for Quotas and Governance Reform in the 17th General Quota Review.
