IMF Reform: The Unfinished Agenda

,

Marking the launch of the Twentieth Geneva Report, Morgan Stanley will host a discussion meeting where the report will be presented by Charles Wyplosz (The Graduate Institute, Geneva and CEPR) and Ngaire Woods (University of Oxford). Reza Moghadam (Morgan Stanley) will chair the session, on Friday 23rd November from 09h30-11h00. 

The very first Geneva Report, An Independent and Accountable IMF was published in September 1999. For this 20th report the same group of authors have reunited to survey changes in the global economy and the IMF. They find that the earlier trend toward globalisation has continued and the IMF has adapted, but there are new challenges.

This column introduces the latest report, in which the same team of authors highlight seven key developments affecting the monetary and financial environment and their implications for the Fund.

Daniel Gros, Ulrich Klüh, Beatrice Weder di Mauro, 01 April 2009

This column argues that this could be achieved by having separate Executive Board voting procedures for lending and analytic decisions, and some independent members on the Board.
