IMF

EU countries insist on maintaining their dominance in the International Monetary Fund (IMF). President of the European Central Bank (ECB) Jean-Claude Trichet urged European Union countries (EU) united to reject plans to reduce their voice in the IMF.

Led by the United States, European Union plans to reduce the sound to be transferred to developing countries have long appeared. U.S. is proposing, developing countries get more quota in the IMF executive director’s chair, amounting to 24 seats that automatically increase their voice in these institutions.

“Personally, I urge the EU common position mengarnbil, united position,” said Trichet, in a press conference on Saturday (04/09/2010) local time. He added, improving the way the IMF management is essential to enhance its role in global governance.

For your information, the European Union countries have more than 21 percent votes in the IMF. Following the U.S. with 16.74 percent of the vote. While the rest, divided into 178 countries proportional to other IMF members.

Developing countries.
Europe’s refusal to reduce their voice in the IMF quota has made the U.S. take drastic action that never happened before. Last month, the U.S. rejected the proposal of the board of directors of the proposed composition of the executive director of the IMF as it is today.

U.S. rejection is expected to lead to the possibility of EU countries, including Belgium and the Netherlands, reducing the number of their seats. Understandably, the U.S. became the only IMF member countries can reject the decision of the IMF’s board of directors with the right of his own voice.

It has long been the developing countries asked for greater share of voice in international institutions, such as the IMF and World Bank.
Understandably, the past few years, the contribution of developing countries against the global economy continues to increase. The voice of developing countries is also important to improve coordination of policy produced the IMF in the global economy forward.

Senior Deputy Governor of Bank Indonesia (BI) Hartadi Sarwono, told Reuters, say, developing countries not only want to increase the share of votes, but also wanted some adjustments in global economic policymaking IMF. ”For developing countries, the most important not only Enhancing a quota, but the relationship between the quota and the IMF’s role in governance. This should be one package,” said Sarwono.
