The Queen Sirikit Convention Centre in Bangkok will temporarily cease operations to accommodate the annual meetings of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank, a major international economic gathering expected to draw policymakers and financial leaders from around the globe.
The facility will remain closed to the public and other events from October 11 through October 18, according to organizers of the international financial institutions' conference. The venue's temporary closure reflects Thailand's role as host nation for the significant annual economic forum.
The IMF-World Bank meetings represent one of the most important calendars on the global financial calendar, bringing together central bank governors, finance ministers, and senior officials to discuss economic policy and development challenges. The Bangkok gathering is anticipated to attract thousands of delegates and observers from member nations.
The Queen Sirikit Convention Centre closure during this period is expected to impact other scheduled events at the facility. Organizers have advised stakeholders to make alternative arrangements for any previously booked functions during the October 11-18 window.
