Based on a conference held in September, 2005, on the future of the International Monetary Fund, this important new book includes an overview of the challenges facing the IMF today. In addition, the book will look at four areas: the international monetary system and the IMF (with an emphasis on enforcing and reforming the rules), governance (including representation), financial resources (the need for additional resources and how they should be supplied), and financing from the fund (including the role of IMF financing and the need for new facilities). The book includes chapters by IMF managing director, Rodrigo deRato; Timothy D. Adams, the undersecretary for international affairs at the US Treasury Department; Kemal Dervis, the head of the United Nations Development Program, the United Nation's Global Development Network; and John B. Taylor, former undersecretary for international affairs at the US Treasury Department.
