Session I: Overview of recent economic and social developments in Africa (agenda item 3) Presentation by Mr. Adam B. Elhiraika, Director of the Macroeconomic and Governance Division of ECA
Michele Reilly is a scientist, an artist, and a systems thinker whose work resists easy classification. She trained in architecture and art at Cooper Union, where she began building intelligent machines and quickly became fascinated by the logic behind them. That curiosity drew her into mathematics, cryptography, macroeconomics, and eventually quantum physics. Her path has been shaped less by credentials than by the depth of her questions.
At MIT, where she teaches in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Michele works at the intersection of computation and the structure of spacetime. She explores how information flows through the universe, drawing from Claude Shannon’s foundational theories and extending them into the quantum realm. Her research is ambitious, but it is rooted in careful thinking. She is not interested in speculation for its own sake. She wants to know what can be built, what can be measured, and what will last.
In 2016, she co-founded Turing, a quantum technology startup focused on building portable quantum memories and tools for long-distance quantum communication. She works closely with physicist Seth Lloyd on designing the scalable, robust systems needed to move quantum computing from theory into practice. The work is intricate and deliberate, building slowly toward a future that she sees as both beautiful and unfamiliar.
Michele is also a storyteller. Her science fiction series Steeplechase has received awards at Cannes and other international festivals. It reflects her belief that narrative and science are not separate pursuits, but parallel ways of exploring the unknown. In her teaching, she brings these strands together, guiding students through exercises that combine quantum theory, creative writing, and world-building. One of her courses, supported by MIT’s Center for Art, Science and Technology, invites students to imagine speculative futures grounded in scientific inquiry.
On her arm is a tattoo of Alan Turing. It is not ornamental. It is a quiet tribute to a thinker whose life and work continue to shape her own. Turing’s dedication to truth, structure, and the ethical weight of technology is a constant presence in her thinking. She carries it with her, quite literally.
The portrait above was made at The Interval at the Long Now Foundation in San Francisco. Michele is seated beside a polished table that reflects her image. Behind her stands the Orrery, a planetary model designed to keep time for ten thousand years. The setting reflects the spirit of her work. She is grounded in the present but always thinking forward, asking how we might live in ways that honor complexity, care, and continuity. She does not speak often about legacy. She speaks about attention, about precision, and about the discipline of staying with difficult questions until they begin to yield something real.

The 2017 OECD Economic Survey of China assesses the country’s recent macroeconomic performance and proposes policy measures to promote higher-quality growth. Improving corporate performance by boosting innovation activities and entrepreneurship, enhancing the standards of corporate governance and reforming state-owned enterprises by exposing them more to market mechanisms would raise efficiency and boost household incomes, increase employment opportunities and raise people’s overall well-being. Moving to less energy-intensive production is also key to achieve greener and more sustainable growth. Greater redistribution through the tax-and-transfer system and better targeting of social assistance would enhance inclusiveness. At the same time, inequalities in access to education, healthcare and pensions need to be addressed.

Prospects of economic growth of Georgia and progress achieved towards macroeconomic stability were discussed by Mamuka Bakhtadze, Prime Minister of Georgia and Christine Lagarde, Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in Washington D.C. today.
Focus was made on the reforms planned by the Government of Georgia, which are aimed at the economic advancement, fundamental transformation of the education system and development of human capital.
IMF position was positive towards the current economic trends in the country and significant progress achieved towards macroeconomic stability was underlined.
It was noted that due to the high economic performance of the country, IMF has upgraded the economic growth projections for Georgia.
Managing Director of the IMF and Prime Minister of Georgia expressed readiness to continue the fruitful cooperation in future.
Mme Lagarde noted that IMF will look into the fiscal space to enable the implementation of the vision conveyed by the Prime Minister of Georgia.
"We had a very good discussion about the current economic situation of Georgia, about the progress made from the macroeconomic stability point of view, about the reforms that are underway and we had a special discussion about this project to develop an investment for the education in Georgia. I told the Prime Minister that we would look carefully at the combination of macroeconomic stability and the appropriate investment in the education to make sure that there will be a sensible fiscal space to do that" stated the Managing Director of the IMF after her meeting with the Head of the Government of Georgia.
