Web cast of the event.
In light of the many calls for the reform of the International Monetary
Fund, the New Rules for Global Finance Coalition convened a panel with
diverse backgrounds to assess how the governance and performance of the IMF
could be improved. New Rules invited a diverse group of individuals to
participate in a High-Level Panel to identify ways to move the Executive
Board toward greater accountability. The Panel focused its recommendations
on steps that were both feasible in the short-term and promised to
contribute to significant change in the accountability of the IMF over the
long-term. For this reason, the Panel chose to give priority to those
recommendations that would be consistent with the current legal framework of
the Fund, namely, the Articles of Agreement. Please join us for a
presentation of the key findings and recommendations of the High-Level Panel
on IMF Board Accountability.
