The discussions in the IMFC are expected to focus on the current status of the world economy and the debt crisis. In addition, the meeting is expected to focus on reinforcing IMF surveillance of member countries and reforms in the international monetary system, including management of capital flows, the need for global financial safety nets and the composition of the special drawing rights (SDR).
The Swedish delegation includes Governor Stefan Ingves, Deputy Governor Barbro Wickman-Parak, Deputy Governor Lars Nyberg, Finance Minister Anders Borg and Minister for International Development Cooperation Gunilla Carlsson.
What is the IMFC?
The International Monetary and Financial Committee is the IMF's policymaking body. The Committee meets twice a year, once in the spring and once in the autumn in connection with the IMF's annual meeting, to discuss the global economy and other issues relating to the IMF's activities. The IMFC consists of 24 members that are represented by a central bank governor or a finance minister from each country or constituency in the IMF. Sweden is part of a constituency together with Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania and Norway. This year our constituency is represented by the Danish central bank governor Nils Bernstein.
