IMF's changing role in the global economy
In the wake of the crisis, policymakers around the world are looking for ways to fix the international financial system: how to better regulate banks and other financial institutions, how to more effectively address risk, and how to strengthen economic cooperation.
There are many players involved in this effort: national governments, international financial organizations, and groups of countries, such as the Group of 20 leading economies and the European Union.
This page seeks to pull together information about the ongoing efforts to
reform the international financial system, with a focus on the IMF's changing
role.
