      The Republic of Korea will host the final meeting of the IDA21 replenishment process in Seoul on December 5-6, 2024. This is a critical moment for global leaders and stakeholders to unite and reaffirm their commitments to the International Development Association (IDA), the primary source of concessional financing for the world’s low-income countries. The remarkable economic transformation of the host country is an outstanding example of what is possible with the right policies and partnerships.
