It is indeed a great honor for Singapore and for me personally to be chairing these meetings. On behalf of all the Governors, I would like to extend a warm wel- come to the new Managing Director of the IMF, Mr. Rodrigo de Rato. We look forward to his leadership of the IMF. Together with Mr. Wolfensohn of the World Bank, we believe that the two of them will play a critical role in leading the IMF and the World Bank during this critical juncture in the global economy. I would also like to express our deepest appreciation to the former Managing Director Horst Köhler for the energy and focus he brought to the IMF. I am sure all of you join me in congratulating him on his assumption of the Presidency of the German Federal Republic. 60 Years of the Bretton Woods Institutions Fellow Governors, this year’s meetings coincide with the 60th anniver- sary of the founding of the Bretton Woods Institutions. The past six decades have been a period of general stability and rising prosperity. Economic growth and development have improved the quality of life for millions of ordinary people. However, given the ever increasing pace of globalization, important challenges remain: poverty still plagues much of the world’s population; not enough people have benefited from the positive scale of globalization; and the voices of the poor have some- times been drowned out. It is vital that we learn the right lessons from the past sixty years, so that we can all work together to secure greater prosperity and equity going forward. Let me highlight three key lessons. First, a stable macroeconomic framework and sound economic policies are prerequisites for sustain- able growth. For developing countries, we need rapid economic growth to raise living standards and reduce poverty. Through its surveillance work, the IMF has encouraged and assisted member countries to imple- ment policies that will reduce the risk of crisis and make their economies more resilient. The IMF also emphasizes the soundness of economic policies, including a greater focus on debt sustainability, financial sector health, and sound institutions and governance. 1 3645-p001-016_OpenAddress.pdf 8/24/05 9:32 AM Page 2 Second, structural and macroeconomic reforms are necessary to strengthen prospects for growth and poverty reduction. The develop- ment record of the past sixty years has shown that the main drivers of economic growth—entrepreneurship, investment, and innovation by the private sector—depend strongly on the right environment. And the right environment includes sound macroeconomic policies, openness to trade, good governance and institutions, strong financial markets, and the availability of key physical infrastructure. Third promoting free and open trade. We have also witnessed how important international trade has been for economic development and poverty reduction. In this regard, we are optimistic about the agreement reached in July on a negotiating framework for the next stages of the Doha round of international trade talks.

  • Azerbaijan on the International Arena
    Administrative Department of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan P R E S I D E N T I A L L I B R A R Y Azerbaijan on the international arena Azerbaijan - UN Azerbaijan – European Union Azerbaijan - Council of Europe Azerbaijan - OSCE Azerbaijan - UNESCO Azerbaijan – OIC Azerbaijan – Guam Azerbaijan - NATO 1 Administrative Department of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan P R E S I D E N T I A L L I B R A R Y Azerbaijan on the international arena Azerbaijan has been following an independent foreign policy since gaining independence in 1991. This policy aims at the strengthening and development of the state system and the protection of the national interests of Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan builds its foreign policy on the principle of respect to the international legal standards and norms, the state sovereignty and territorial integrity and the principles of nonintervention into the internal affairs. The foreign policy of Azerbaijan, adhering to these principles and speaking on behalf of the national interests targets such urgent issues as the risks and challenges to the national security and territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of the republic and the prevention of the intervention of the Republic of Armenia. The major priorities of the foreign policy of Azerbaijan are the establishment of the regional peace and stability, the implementation of large transport and cooperation projects. The attraction of the foreign capital to the implementation of different projects on the development of the country's economics for more effective protection of the national interests plays a great role in the foreign policy of Azerbaijan in the present-day world.

  • The Choice and Design of Exchange Rate Regimes Már Gudmundsson
    The choice and design of exchange rate regimes Már Gudmundsson Introduction This paper discusses the design and management of exchange rate regimes in Africa.1 It starts by looking at the current landscape of exchange rate regimes in the region and comparing it to other regions of the world. It then discusses relevant considerations for the choice of exchange rate regimes in developing countries, including the optimal currency area, but also their limitations in a developing country context. The ability of countries to deliver disciplined macroeconomic policies inside or outside a currency union is an important consideration in that regard, along with political goals and the promotion of financial sector development and integration. The paper then proceeds to discuss in turn the management of flexible exchange rates, the design of exchange rate pegs and monetary integration. Exchange rate regimes in Africa Exchange rate regimes in Africa reflect choices made at the time of independence as well as more recent trends in exchange rate regimes of developing countries. Original exchange rate pegs in many cases evolved over time into flexible exchange rates. That development was given a further boost by the stabilisation and liberalisation programmes in the 1980s and 1990s. Former colonies of France constitute a core group in the CFA franc zone of western and central Africa, which is composed of two currency unions with a hard external peg to the euro, underpinned by the French authorities. Three neighbouring countries of South Africa are part of the rand zone, where national currencies are 1 The paper draws extensively on Masson and Pattillo (2005).

  • Country Economic Review
    Federated States of Micronesia Proceedings March 28 to April 2, 2004 Palikir, Pohnpei, Federated States of Micronesia FOREWORD To all participants of the 3rd FSM Economic Summit, I wish to thank you for your contributions to a successful Summit. I fully agree with the Floor Leader of the Pohnpei State Legislature, Fernando Scaliem, who said in his closing remarks, “I am confident that the results of this Summit will provide us with a realistic and viable road map for the future growth of our Nation.” I am pleased to see that broad participation was achieved during the Summit, including key contribu- tions from our traditional leaders, church groups, non-governmental and international donor organiza- tions. The spirited discussions during plenary sessions are a clear indication of the level importance our Nation’s representatives brought to this meeting. I wish to thank all of the Summit’s participants for their dedication and hard work. The goals of our Summit were to (a) increase awareness of the Compact, as amended; (b) achieve consensus on an overall economic strategy; and (c) improve the monitoring mechanisms to support economic growth. I’d like to take a moment to address these. As our nation continues on its journey toward economic self-reliance, we clearly face many chal- lenges, not least including the structure of the amended Compact with the annual decrement and par- tial inflation adjustment. The Select Committee formed during the Summit has chosen a high-growth scenario, and the Summit has endorsed this choice as well. This decision for economic growth will require an initial investment in reforms but will ultimately lead to a sustainable economy.

Elə möcüzələr özü də elmi uğurların nəticəsidir. Milli elm kəhkəşanımızın ənginliklərində sayrışan topa-topa ulduzların işığı – alim ömrünün, alim əməyinin nuru əsrlərdir ki, bütün həyatımızı, dünyamızı öz sehrinin ağuşuna alıb. Bəli, elm qədimdən bəri az qala zaman- dan da sürətli yol qət edib. Azərbaycan Milli Elmlər Akademiyasının 70 ilinin zirvəsindəki dərinliklərin sirrinə bələd olmaq üçün yolu- muza çıraq kimi bir iz seçdik: akademik Musa Əliyevin ömrünə - həyatının enişli-yoxuşlu yollarına, elmi uğur- larına, elmi-təşkilatı qüdrətinə nəzər salmaqla həm də akademiyanın ilk onilliklərinə ekskurs etməli və sonrakı uğurlarımızın o illərdəki özülünün şahidi olduq. Bir alim ömrünə-taleyinə yazılan səhifələri vərəqləməklə ruhunu yad etdik və o illəri gözümüzdə, könlümüzdə bir daha yaşadıq, öyrəndik. Unudulmaz şəxsin fəaliyyəti müstəvisində həm akademikin öz ömrü – taleyi, həm də yaşadığı tarixin ictimai – siyasi ab-havası, XX əsr milli elm tarixində açılan hər yeni səhifənin bünövrə daşının qoyulması, XXI əsrə daşınan elmi-nəzəri təcrübələr bu kitabımızın qayəsi oldu.
