Cigionline.org, 12/10/2015
The IMF annual meetings in Lima focused on the policy adjustments that are needed in an environment of modest and uneven global growth, falling commodity prices, and rising U.S. interest rates. The key policy priorities, it was agreed, are policies that promote growth, preserve fiscal sustainability, reduce unemployment, manage financial stability risks, and support trade. These priorities were reflected in the Communiqué of the International Economic and Financial Committee (IMFC), the ministerial committee that mirrors the composition of the Fund’s Executive Board and provides strategic direction to the Fund’s work.
