IMF SDR's ~ High-Level Seminar on the International Monetary System

March 31, 2011

High-Level Seminar on the International Monetary System Keynote address by Dominique Strauss-Kahn, Managing Director, International Monetary Fund

Nanjing, China

As Prepared for Delivery

Good afternoon. As the morning discussions have shown, there is a wide range of opinions regarding the extent to which the international monetary system needs to be reformed, and how.

A gathering like this one can help us progress toward a common understanding of the way ahead, which is critical if the global recovery is to be sustained beyond the near term. I am thankful to our hosts for organizing this seminar, and for inviting me to deliver this keynote address.
