Gita Gopinath, the first deputy managing director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), announced her departure from the institution in a video posted on X, saying her time at the organization had been shaped by “global upheaval” from the Covid-19 pandemic to geopolitical conflicts.

“It has been an incredible close to seven years at the IMF,” Gopinath said in the video. “I came to the IMF in 2019, which gave me about a year to learn the job. And then in 2020, the pandemic struck, and ever since there's been global upheaval. You had the war in Ukraine, inflation shocks, geopolitical tensions, big changes in the global trading system.”
