From
ZH:
“The
year 2014 was a tough one. The recovery was slow, a series of
dangerous geopolitical risks emerged, and the world was confronted
with a devastating Ebola outbreak. This year may be another tough
one, but it could also be a good one – a truly multilateral year.”
“New
momentum on global trade could help unlock investment worldwide, and
I am hopeful about the new Sustainable Development Goals (which will
succeed the Millennium Development Goals in 2015), and about the
prospects for a comprehensive climate-change agreement at the end of
this year.”
“Against
this backdrop, the adoption of the IMF reforms by the United States
Congress would send a long-overdue signal to rapidly growing emerging
economies that the world counts on their voices, and their resources,
to find global solutions to global problems.”
“Growth,
trade, development, and climate change: 2015 will be a rendezvous of
important multilateral initiatives. We cannot afford to see them
fail. Let us make the right choices.”
It is characteristic that,
according to the famous economist, Joseph Stiglitz, IMF had made
wrong predictions in the past concerning US economy, which
(thankfully) were ignored. Maybe this time, some will "consider"
(unfortunately) not to ignore them.
