The New Millennium

<--Previous Next-->
 
If the somber history of the first half of the twentieth century – two world wars and the Great Depression – can teach one lesson, it is the need for cooperation among nations. In the second half of the century, the IMF and other international institutions such as the United Nations, the World Bank, and the World Trade Organization have been part of the most sustained effort in history to achieve that cooperation.

"In a world of accelerating history, the future is already with us, calling for a high sense of responsibility, for bold action, and for intense cooperation between member countries."

Michel Camdessus
IMF Managing Director (1987–2000)
