Counting the Cost -IMF in Focus - 9 Oct 09 - Pt 2
- 12 years ago
A special focus on the International Monetary Fund and whether it is suited for its purpose.
There were violent protests on the streets of Istanbul as the IMF held its annual meeting. We look at whether recession-hit Turkey can actually live without the IMF.
We also ask if the IMF has lived up to its founding goals, or if its a club for rich countries to dictate growth. And as the developing world takes its seat at the financial table, can the IMF adapt and embrace reform in times of economic upheaval?
