Economic Commentary: Give the IMF a stronger role in promoting global financial stability

Date 10/10/2008

The International Monetary Fund, IMF, should be at the centre of the debate on learning lessons from the financial crisis and adapting rules for the international financial system. The IMF should consider calling for multilateral consultations to develop a plan of action for the ongoing crisis. This is the theme of an economic commentary written by Stefan Ingves on the eve of the annual meeting to be held on 11-13 October in Washington.
