This year the World Bank is
seeking its fifteenth International Development Assistance
replenishment, while the IMF is currently undertaking a major review and
discussion regarding its purpose and future mission. The view of the
Fund’s management is contained in
The Managing Director’s Report on
Implementing the Fund’s Medium-Term Strategy (April 2006). These
developments create an opportunity for reflecting upon the mission and
activities of the World bank and the IMF. The current session will
explore the question of what is the role and relationship of the Bank
and Fund to the questions of labor standards, human rights, and
democracy.

Peter Bakvis, Director, Washington Office,
