Minister for Finance Paschal Donohoe is to travel to Washington for the 2025 Spring Meetings of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank.
The meetings began on Monday and will continue until Saturday, with Mr Donohoe representing both Ireland and the euro area in his capacity as President of the Eurogroup.
Mr Donohoe said he was looking forward "to a series of constructive engagements with ministerial colleagues and officials at the IMF and World Bank on how best to address these economic challenges and further our shared goals".
During the meetings, Mr Donohoe is expected to take part in a ministerial roundtable discussion on Ukraine and attend the G20 meeting of finance ministers and Central Bank Governors.
He will also attend the G7 finance ministers' and central bank governors' meeting in his capacity as Eurogroup President.
Along with that, he will participate in media engagements to highlight the European economic and financial policy agenda.
"These institutions celebrated their 80-year anniversary last year, and now, maybe more than any time in recent memory, we need these institutions to help address the global challenges that we face," Mr Donohoe said
He added: "Multilateralism, particularly in the face of persistent and ongoing global conflicts and recent economic turbulence, is key for securing effective and resilient outcomes."
It comes as the IMF cut its growth forecasts for this year yesterday because of the disruption caused by the tariffs on imports introduced by the US.
It said the tariff regime introduced on 2 April by the Trump administration will cut global economic growth by half of one per cent - reducing it to 2.8% from a projected 3.3% just three months ago.
The IMF said growth in the US economy will fall by about one third of its January estimate, to 1.8%, down 0.9% points from January.
Euro area growth is expected to be about one fifth lower than the January estimate at 0.8%, down 0.2% points.
