A Great
Transformation in the Making?
World Economic Forum
"There could be no better way of remaining abreast of these issues than to
ponder these pages."
- John Williamson, Peterson Institute for International Economics
The establishment in 1944 of the International Monetary Fund and the World
Bank remains one of the most important achievements of international economic
cooperation. Over the past six decades, the world has witnessed fundamental
political and economic changes which have radically altered the environment in
which the world's leading international financial institutions have had to
operate. The wave of financial crises during the past decade has contributed to
an emerging consensus that the international financial system, and the
institutions underpinning it, are in need of reform.
