Abstract

By any measure, the current economic recession is the worst since the 1930s. The unprecedented global financial and economic crisis that started in 2007 has had a profound impact on the work of international financial institutions. The reform of the international financial system represents an important topic nowadays. The paper proposes far-reaching reforms of the International Monetary Fund in order to address the global financial crisis. The paper analyses reforms covering following areas: lending framework, the IMF’s lendable resources, creation of a new international reserve currency, enhanced surveillance, and governance.
