🌎Yesterday, Brent Neiman, Assistant Secretary for International Finance at the US Treasury, delivered a thought-provoking critique ahead of the International Monetary Fund/The World Bank Annual Meetings. 📷He raised concerns over the IMF's approach to its surveillance responsibilities: “The Fund is also sometimes too polite in its surveillance responsibilities... For example, the #IMF does not publicly comment on the role of state-owned banks in managing #China’s exchange rate or on why changes in the PBOC’s balance sheet don’t line up with reserve transactions in China’s balance of payments data.” For a deeper dive into these critiques and the future of IMF governance, watch the full discussion on demand here: https://lnkd.in/ehzKEcph
