We thank
Minister Tharman for his inspiring leadership of our Committee during the last
4 years. We welcome Agustin Carstens, Governor of Banco de Mexico, as our
Committee’s new Chairman. The Managing Director and the staff of the IMF have
made a commendable analysis and formulated useful policy recommendations which
document our deliberations. The IMFC should agree on policies to better secure
financial stability, durable balanced inclusive growth, and employment creation
to anchor social cohesion and welfare. We shall also give guidance on how the
Fund can continue improving its functioning and support of its members,
including efforts to make progress on the quota and governance reforms. I
will expand on both main topics in turn.
